I was just a victim of credit card fraud

10,780 154 February 15, 2011 at 08:37 AM in Rant
Last night before bed I checked my email and chase sent me something saying they declined a 59.99 charge from some place. I called them up, and apparently there was a 34.99 charge right after that, and another 34.99 charge from a different company, and they were using my old exp date. They gave me 800 numbers for both companies and I called them up.

The first couldn't tell me what was attempted because it was in the decline list, but she gave me the ip (in Louisiana) and email ([email protected]) used. This obviously was not me. Called the second company and they wouldn't give me any specific information, but they did say "I" tried to buy a sub to blacksonblondes.

Called chase back, confirmed all this stuff w/them, they cancelled my account, are sending a new card w/in 24/48 hours, an envelope from their fraud department which I will use to communicate w/them and/or open my own case against whoever did this, and are contacting all 3 credit bureaus to make sure nothing bad is on my report.

I have to say.. the way chase dealt w/it was pretty awesome. They were quick, knowledgeable, everything.

Not to derail the thread but I saw your avatar and immediately thought "cupcake42 is trying to get people stalking her with the cupcake taco avi???". My thoughts immediately devolved from there.

What was this thread about again? Confused

Now that I've read past the previous comment, I feel dirty.

Plus I didn't know Suicide Girls was a porn site. I thought it was about women who loved tattoos.

Well after CC's talk about her cupcakes, I thought she took it to the next level. EEK!

I had a similar thing happen to me with a Chase card also. Someone charged tickets to an Alicia Keys concert for over 400 dollars. I was inpressed with the way Chase handled too. I did have to sign a statement saying I did not make the charge but otherwise it was easy to deal with.
