We’ll personally I think it’ll get worse because millions of people are out of work with no money & with all the hundreds of thousands coming over the border, what’s a better way to get something for free!

Visa does the samething for free. Ive had purchases that I was making that looked suspicious since I was making the purchase far away from where I live denied. Then they text me a message immediately to verify if its me. I reply n my card is immediately activated again

Only used a credit card not a debit card for purchases. Every purchase you should receive a text, same as with credits received. Another way to increase you’ll get hacked is to leave your cars on autopay with anyone.

I have a MC through NFCU. My son is a banker. I told him that I scraped off the three digit code on the back of the card and memorized the number. He said that was a good idea. Of course, I only have the one card. Those with multiple cards may have a problem memorizing the various security numbers. But it works for me.

i didn't use my card at either..........

Hospital

The only time I've had my CC stolen was after using it to paying for a meal. Now we try to always pay cash when dining out.

But then I got a charge this month from Katie Belle's, with a Lake Sumter address and a phone number not in service. They've been closed since before I moved here, and were in Spanish, not Sumter, so I figured it might be a scam, since I had relaxed my guard and payed for a meal at the Nancy Lopez country club that day.

After I had Capital One remove the charge, it occurred to me that I'd bought drinks that night at the Erasmith concert at Savanna. I couldn't remember if I'd paid cash, but the charge was probably about right for a beer and a margurita. I called the Villages Entertainment people and discovered that, yes, they're still using the Katie Belle's credit card servicing setup. Weird! I didn't even know Katie Belle's was owned by The Villages! Now I'm a little mad that they closed it. It sounds like a fun place.

Oh, well. At least my CC wasn't stolen.

I got a notice saying I owed the Villages hospital $100 which I know I didn't. They sure make it look legit, but one must always be on the lookout for scammers. :ohdear:

Ditto

And Discover

Chase is immediate notice

Discover or MasterCard through my bank
 

Either Discover or Master Card through my bank has this without any yearly charges, if I did not created the charge, I am not responsible for it. I use it all the time except when I order on EBAY, I use PayPal for that.
Try to be double cautious all the time and use encrypted passwords
