People are getting their identities stolen from social media such as this and Facebook. People give out their names, addresses, telephone numbers, etc. This is all these guys need to get started.

It may not be a restaurant, any computer your number is in can, and may have been, compromised.

Notifying your cc company when traveling does not always work. Three times last year our discover cards were refused at Walmart on 466. To both of our cards in March and then on another trip with my card in June. Our balances are paid every month so that has nothing to do with it. Consequently I was very upset when I contacted Discover. After my conversation I felt a little guilty on the wrath I bestowed on that employee! But then again, it comes with the territory.

This crime is so prevalent that I am seriously considering using my credit card only when really needed. No more in restaurants and at gas stations.
I need to contact me credit card company for a serious discussion |

I intentionally write on the back "PASSCODE: 8429". A thief tries that number 3 times and the card gets taken away. It's the wrong passcode! My bank account (with $1,254,589.29 in it) is still safe. :D Skip PS: Unfortunately some banks now have ATM machines that spit back your card BEFORE the PIN is entered. |

The Luhn algorithm will detect any single-digit error, as well as almost all transpositions of adjacent digits. It will not, however, detect transposition of the two-digit sequence 09 to 90 (or vice versa). It will detect 7 of the 10 possible twin errors (it will not detect 22 ↔ 55, 33 ↔ 66 or 44 ↔ 77).
