A few months ago, my Citizen's debit card was compromised. I get weekly statements (which I check) and I randomly, otherwise, check it too. Anyway, I called the bank immediately and they took care of things. The minor inconvenience was to wait a few days for my new card. NOT sure who/where this compromise happened. I use my card for local shopping (grocery and regular stores) only. Thieves have their ways.
My Citi-card got compromised a few weeks later---this time using 2 small (very small) purchases to test run. I caught this too and another few days of waiting. Seems like these things happen all too frequently. I do, do on-line shopping so that's the "rub". Hackers are always out there prowling around.
