A few weeks ago, my bank called to ask me some questions about my credit card. Someone was trying to make a purchase at an Apple store in Cal., another in Wisconsin, in the U.K. etc etc. They stopped it, and I went immediately to bank to put in for another one.
While there I asked them how or where did they get the number. There are so many ways they can get it, with the new and advanced technology we have today.
Lesson learned, we only take cash for going out to eat. Only trust a few online places where I shop. But if you think about it....there are so many places where you use your debit/credit card. I won't give up using it for gas!! LOL.
Just be careful and check your bank statement regularly online or however you do it.
