I just went through a compromised card. The bank alerted me as they considered the transactions suspect. They didn't even ask if I tried to contact the merchants. I denied making them (they were in a city I haven't been in in almost 40 years) and that was that.

When the bank flags it as a possible compromise, they probably don't. Different banks probably have different procedures, but when my wife's debit card was compromised recently, they asked her if she had contacted the merchant- she had not, as she didn't even know who they were. After she explained that, they proceeded to process her claim, but they did check.
