No fraud calls from Citi for weeks.

Apparently someone tried using this card at walmart for $200+ and for some reason they flagged it I logged into my account an saw an authorization from groupon.

This is the 2nd card this happened to with me in the past week or so....

OK here we go again, this time multiple charges on my starwood card which is an au on my wife's card. There was a suggestion I was getting skimmed with the other cards , but this one I havent used in a few months and it is in my drawer.

I actually got a call from Walmart checking a charge before the call from Amex.

If someone had access to my online Amex account, could they get the number off of it? Amex lists only the last 6 digits or so.

So they ordered something from newegg and had it shipped to my home. I don't get why someone would do that if they dont get anything from it.

[Mutty]

Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing fraud on their cards. Out of all of our cards I have fraudulant charges on 5 spg/amex cards! Nor citibank cards or any others. In fact, even cards that have only been used to gain original bonus miles and then put away and not used again! Amex is habdling the fraud charges. i called SPG to see if anyone may have hacked their database and they said there's no report of it. Am I the only one? Anyone else out there?

[DH Data Recovery]

I had some on one of my amex gold cards twice in the past month

[Mutty]

Now I'm up to fraud on three personal SPG AMEX cards and one buisness. What a headache!

[meshugener]

Just had a fraudulent charge on my card.
I believe there has been some serious security breach somewhere.
I know too many people who had fraudulent activity on their cards in the past few weeks.

[ganizzy]

after barely ever having fraud, i had it twice in one week.
on my sapphire and on an AU of my starwood.
that card was used on small business Saturday and maybe for one more twitter promotion and is in my drawer

[Yellow]

I just had fraudulent activity on my spg and hilton cards

This never happened to me before

[shmooz]

So they ordered something from newegg and had it shipped to my home. I don't get why someone would do that if they dont get anything from it.

I sm'ed Amex that I have it and they should tell me what to do with it. I have a feeling that they will not ask me to send it to them.

[Yordai Dooma]

Haven't had it in a few years.

logged online and someone charged:
    05/27/2013       Pending    BRAUMS #84       $8.10
   05/27/2013       Pending    TACO BUENO #3030       $10.79

All these locations are in TX. My wife and i both have our cards in our possession. How could someone swipe it in store if they dont have the card?

Its easy to make a new card with a magnetic strip.

Just got a brand new cc in the mail today when I tried swiping it didn't work. Chase said they canceled the card because of fraud and they already sent me a new one.
