I'm not a criminal, so I haven't worked it all out. When our visa was compromised, the card was in our possession. A purchase was made in a store, which should require the physical card. Chase said thieves use gift cards and impose the actual credit card numbers onto the card. Again, I'm not a criminal so I don't understand the technology.
