After my recent visit to TV my card was compromised. I was in the office early (4:30AM) and alerts started poping up in my email about charges to my card. Started with $1.00 at some online store. Then a little more at Netflix. First they test the card number with a small amount to see if it works. Then they get bold and go for it all. I immediately called the bank fraud department and shut down the card so they got nothing. I hope they paid a lot of money for that card number. I suspect the card number was collected at a restaurant in TV. I will not name the business since I have no proof, only suspicions.
