Tangential story...
I had a Northwest Airlines VISA card in the early 2000s.
One day, I noticed a USD $6,000 deposit. I sent a message to customer service that something was wrong.
The next day, I noticed a $5,800 withdrawal. At this point, I called customer service.
They removed the deposit right away, but I had to engage repeatedly to get the withdrawal off my statement. I think this involved some kind of written statement.
I've also had Discover call me, asking if I ordered a $1,200 television off Newegg, and they sent me a new card when I replied that I did not.
I have no idea what happened in either case.
- tetrep 3y agoI don't have any experience with this, but maybe they found a store or something that they could use to get a refund to a specific card and they used your stolen debit card info to get the refund and then proceed to spend it all hopefully before the card holder notices.
