Especially required seeing that I had three fraudulent Amazon Prime subscription payments on my credit-card last week, two on which were on the same day.
My recommendation to all: Check your credit-card transactions for those small amounts of money that are the harbingers of your card getting cleaned out.
You could maybe use a 'scream test': If you find an unknown transaction, charge it back through your bank. The scream will come from a real seller, you'll most likely get silence from a fraudulent one.
- kylehotchkiss 4y agoTurning on email notifications for every transaction over $50 is a great way to automate this since accessing statements can be such a pain sometimes
- yurishimo 4y agoYour credit card doesn’t offer instant push notifications for every transaction?
- kylehotchkiss 4y agoThey do, but I find emails easier to sort and review later. Push notifications quickly become a pile of clutter on the Lock Screen
- londons_explore 4y agoRemember that real sellers have real costs associated with chargebacks. Typically they'll lose $20 for each chargeback, whether or not the transaction was fraudulent. The $20 pays the bank's time to investigate. For a small grocery store that you purchased some $1 chips from, and you charged back because you didn't remember stopping off on the road there, thats a massive loss.
