If Amazon's databases were hacked, and they have DISCOVERED it it would be in the news. Like I said, it takes a while to sort these things out. |

God no, that was closed on Monday when the credit card company called and asked if we had really spent $538 at Walmart and were trying to spend another $600 and another Walmart. When I nearly passed out, they closed the card.

Or it may be someone employed by the bank or financial institution that issued the card.

I respect all of your opinions but I'm gonna go with what the bank told me and Amazon finally admitted to them. SInce this card was used nowhere else, it's kind of hard to believe it happened somewhere else. From here on out, the bank handles the process and I'm out of it. I just have to decide how to make additional purchases at Amazon.

[QUOTE=beej231;2067962How patient do you think the bank will be if it happens again and they already warned me?[/QUOTE]
This happens to me, on average, about once every 1.5 yrs (and it always seems to be WalMart where the card is used!)... never once has the bank warned me to do/not do anything, and with $0 liability I continue to use a CC without fear... something about your story isn't smelling right. I've noticed a significant number of threads started by people who come in claiming to be completely innocent parties (lost CC, locked out of accounts, etc) and then warn us not to deal with Amazon. It almost starts to feel like a concerted effort, a conspira-- oh, wait... I'm starting to sound like those posters. |
