Re: Scam Alert!
Sorry to hear this whole ordeal, but looks like you're going to be made whole.
When you first said mentioned NO, I thought you fell for the shoe shine scam. :r |
Re: Scam Alert!
Waiters and waitresses have been doing this scam for a long time. Fortunately it's only a few bad apples that do it, but they have the opportunity since you hand them your card and they take it out of your sight. It's also not uncommon for them to "skim" the card by scanning it into a reader so that they can either make a hard copy or sell the data to someone to make a hard copy.
My buddy had that happen to him at a walmart in Georgia. Thing is, since it wasn't taken out of his sight, the cashier acted like the first scan didn't work (which was the skimmer probably) and then scanned it for real. His card was used in Mexico City at a liquor store a couple days later. It's amazing how connected these theft rings are. |

My previous credit union took care of all of this for me. I simply got a call, told them I didn't make those charges, and a few days later a new card in the mail. Anyway, the interesting part was the register indicated the card was swiped in Delaware even though I had it in my pocket in Michigan. Obviously it was duplicated. By who, I may never know. My local police said he'd try to get camera footage and track them down with help of Delaware police, but he also said given the amount he likely wouldn't be extradited to Michigan even if caught. He said that usually only happens if the same guy is tracked doing multiple credit card frauds. I did get my money back. Still waiting on the new card. :rolleyes: |
Re: Scam Alert!
Damn sorry to hear this Shawn. Identity theft seems to be everywhere these days and the technology out there just makes it that much easier.
