What were they?
> I can't tell if you froze ALL of your cards, either immediately upon discovering the fraudulent event or before raising/disabling limits and then 'deal' with the rogue virtual card afterwards.
I froze the card the charge was made on immediately after I discovered the fraudulent transaction, yes. I didn't freeze anything before removing the limit because I didn't think it was fraud until quite a bit after I saw the large transaction go through.
Initially I thought my work had used my card to book a trip for me or something similar. I didn't even imagine someone could have gotten my card details somehow.

I must be missing something here. Is sharing your card details with your workplace, so they can spend your money on your behalf, a normal thing for you (or anybody) to do? Legitimately asking here because I don't understand this at all.
- StavrosK 7y agoNo, it's not. I was just super confused by the charge and what's what I thought. It makes no sense, and yet the probability ranked higher than "fraud" in my mind.
- CathedralBorrow 7y agoA blunt question on that point: So what? Let's say someone shares their card details with their workplace. For some reason beyond your or mine understanding. Which causes them, in a rush, to think "Ah, must be that, I'll drop the limit". Does this justify that person losing their money that was stolen from them via fraudulent charges?
