So last Saturday I got a brand new credit card from a brand new bank that I opened because my main credit card got compromised and I wanted a backup.
Saturday evening I verify receipt of the card, and then put the card on the counter and left it there. Sunday night / Monday morning, at 1am, I get a text that the new card was compromised as someone was attempting to use it to pay some scammer. I never left the house with the card, I never typed it into a computer beyond the verification process from my own home.
Wat.
- stimpson_j_cat 6y agoI got a notification that my new card was used for fraud while it was in the mail on the way to me
- whitepoplar 6y agoWhich bank?
- stimpson_j_cat 6y agoI think it was US Bank but this was some years ago
- gruez 6y agodon't cards require activation prior to use?
- stimpson_j_cat 6y agoYes! Fraud dept told me it was someone entering random numbers. What does that explain?! shrug
- whitepoplar 6y agoWhich bank is it from? Name and shame!
- manuelmagic 6y agoThere are frauds that happen during the shipping. Or there could be a malware on the computer. Why do you assume that the bank is at fault?
- m463 6y agoProbably not what is happening, but I've wondered if NFC cards can be compromised in the mail. I would imagine: - you could locate the cards without opening the envelope - maybe you could make a charge without opening the envelope
