Itās so easy to get that information. A restaurant employee with questionable ethics, people who do the books for companies, etc. I had my card compromised, and someone made a $2K purchase at Home Depot. Filled out a report, they had the guy on camera, but there wasnāt enough detail to do anything about it. Most banks allow you to set a daily or one time purchase limit. Thankfully, the bank took care of everything, but you should make a report anyway.

Thatās totally fucked up. Random gas stations seem more likely than regular clients. I seriously hope you find the culprits, but this stuff is so common that I doubt you will get satisfaction.
Iām outta likes, and I donāt much like it either.

This just clicked
I use a payroll app/software that was billed out /pending same day as the chargesā¦and a half hour after the fraud charges.
**I think they are fine
But mainly clicked as ill.need to update my payment info with them as the cards been changedā¦
Anyway
What got me caught up is the Vape Juiceā¦and I believe Flavour Beast is canadian ?
I donāt see it being a Local jobā¦as criminals here are not that smart.
Maybe vape juice is popular for resale
ā¦and furniture has always been a go to for fraud with credit cards, so that part is professionalā¦
I wonder if the merchant in question would cooperate with bank for the investigation/ where it is being delivered too ,
At least Where the online trans was made from
Luckily everything is handled. ā¦ waiting on reversal of the vape juice

In my case, I think the bank required me to report it before they would cover the loss. Then it pretty much becomes a case between them and LEO.
What I couldnāt understand is how he made the purchase. They said he did everything online, so he had all the numbers and security code, then went and picked it up. Iāve done this before, and they always asked for my driverās license. I didnāt talk to HD personally. Once I made the report, it was all LEO from there, but I always wondered if he asked the same question.

Could be as easy as asking the "right"employee to get your order.
I picked up a $3500 metal break at home depot in May , clicked online that i was in the store ready to pick up and I went to customer service, found a young guy, he looked at my phone. , went into the order/pickup area behind Customer serviced. And wheeled it right to me. No drivers license asked !
Who knows@
Iām terrified now with all this going on .
.
Some of these cats are smartā¦
Im going to insist on an investigation be carried out.

If the card is backed by Visa, youāre good to go. I like that I can set limits through my banking software that prevent someone from making too large a purchase. I think the default is $3K a day, but I can set it to whatever I want.

Whatās really strange is how they got the CCV codeā¦I mean, a ripper at a gas pump canāt get thatā¦can it?

Itās my understanding itās not encoded anywhere on the card. Just printed. So perhaps not a gas station.
I believe thatās correct. Itās not even embossed.

I had my card cloned some how, they booked 4 first class airline tickets from Halifax to Winnipeg at 2700 bucks each.
I reported it, they said they would send me a letter to sign and I had to fax it back and had a week from the time I reported it to complete the fax. It took 6 days before I got the letter, so I was panicking it would not arrive in time. Managed it though.
I said to the guy will the police be waiting at the airport for them to show up, he said nope, we just write this money off, itās not worth the hassle of trying to find them.

This is churning up nightmares of when my account was drained of every penny I had to my name like a week before closing on my house. Imagine having closing and down payment money in your checking account and then your card gets declined for insufficient funds on a pack of cigarettes.
For all the scummy shit wells Fargo does, they told me āNo problem. Weāll put that money right back. This happens all the time and weāll never catch who did it. Have a nice day.ā

Imagine trying to buy one (1) beer and discovering your ex wife has drained all your accounts.
But I hear you in the house one too.

Haha. Oh no man. What was the outcome on that one? I imagine that scenario could get a little muddied up in the resolution department.

I was pissed. It tried the card a second time. Then I figured it out. Then I paid $2 in my credit card.
Then I bummed a smoke from some guy and gave him my whole life story.
It got sorted in time but shutting down my account is a bitch move.

Iām going to be very generous with myself and simply say Iām bad at math.
What I can say is it is an uncirculated bill, number A 00000185 A. Seems like itās a pretty early bill. Iām actually surprised it didnāt sell for more given those two facts.
