The typical MO is to use the card info within a few days of theft according to the credit card company.
They went on to say they to last transaction very closely before the fraud transaction.
I'm not bashing anyone, I'm highly suspicious the CC company will investigate EP further.
But since the card was always in my possession not used anywhere else for 3 weeks or so before the 11th at Evans P and the fraud took place 4 days after using it at EP, I'm reasonably sure .
The card was not swiped it was punched in online.
