ight seriously back to the topic

had a chase card used for $30 bucks of groupon purchases a couple months back; it was a brand new card too.  i was out of town when it came though and the number was given to me over the phone (wanted to make the first purchase) so it could be someone was hacking the line. 

just tonight i'm going through my statements and find a $45 charge from American Friends of Shalva... an israeli association for mentally challenged kids in israel.   i guess theres worse places to have a stolen cc number used at, but no thanks.     last time the card was used was a month ago to pay off my arnona bill over the phone...  scary stuff.

Given to you over the phone while you were in Israel? I'm not surprised it got stolen

Robin Hood?? . Someone stole your card and makes one purchase over a few months to a charity for a measly $45 . I would double check with family members who might of used your card by mistake. Or try to jog your memory.

Unless they were testing the waters with a parve charge

The funny thing is that Amex won't let u freeze a card if you suspect theft, despite the fact that if it is they will pick up the tab.

I recently had fraud done the old way. I lost my card, the same day I got an email from AMEX that 2 wrong attempts had been made when requested for the zip code. I went online and saw two holds for 100 dollars from a gas station. they never cleared as the zip was wrong. It happened over yomtov when I was away from home so the ganef had trouble guessing the zip. One of the reasons that I refuse to go paperless is because this way I get to go over my statements, otherwise I never would.

If you suspect theft, they'll gladly send you a new card thereby cancelling the old one, effectively a freeze. Why the need for only a freeze while maintaining the card?

[Nitantnel]

In that case you will have to wait until you receive the new one to resume use. Unless amex is generous enough to overnight you a replacement card too?

Always, IME.

Amex frauded 6 months ago with W.O.W. charges with China IP address, (wife lives in China and made some charges over there).
CO card frauded 8 months ago with some donation charges and rental car in US.
Another Chase card frauded 1.5 years ago with charges in Greece.

Being that I used to be one of those people that called you to confirm charges this should be no surprise to me. But going from a 560 Fico to a 775 Fico between 3/2009 to now I am little surpised at the aggressiveness of this. The counterfeiting was a big thing in the mid 90's and the banks were always saying "We are going to eliminate counterfeit charges by 1998 with new algorithm encryptions" - Yeah right. I saw one of the card encoders being sold right over the counter in China at a computer mall last year (although easily avail with a paper trail on ebAy). At that time (1995) counterfeit alone account $1 Million / month in losses.

$1/ a month is nothing.

Just to comment on the thread title: I have no fraudulent activity on my CCs, I do it all using other people's CCs
