A month ago I received an email alert from B of A asking me to immediately call them about several unusual on-line CC transactions ranging between $20-$30 each. So I immediately called their customer service to "verify" these purchases. None were mine and they immediately canceled my CC account and issued me a new CC.
These fraudulent transactions did not fit my profile and purchase pattern, therefore I was immediately alerted by my bank.
They were 'testing' the card with petty purchases before attempting to make a sizable one.
