This happened to my 88 year old Mother just last week! Bank of America called her to see if we were moving to Texas. Someone had called them and said they had lost their card (which was really Mom's card) and wanted a new card sent to Texas!! BoA told us it came to their attention because the people said they were deaf and Mom didn't have a deaf alert on her account! The weird thing is this was a card that was still on the bank's original paperwork, in a safe place and had never been activated.

I also always call my credit card company when we travel out of the country.
