Your CREDIT card company might ping you with a text message, if you have opted in to receive them, to warn you of a potentially fraudulent transaction.

Let’s qualify that. Companies like Amazon, PayPal, eBay, your bank will usually send you an email asking you to go to your online account to do something. If you do that yourself, that helps you be safe. I have received phoney emails asking me to click some link, which will then ask for my email and password. I have a couple times sent the email to the security office of the company and been told it’s fake. BE VERY CAREFUL! If you aren’t sure it’s real, take some time and check it out.
