Cuties, beware! One of my credit cards was compromised yesterday. Spent all morning cancelling it. I had used it in Dec. for a purchase at Amazon and Wawak for zippers and Jan. to Joann's for pillows. The first fake charge was to a hotel in North Carolina and the second to a fitness center in Canada. I try to use Pay Pal as much as possible , but we must be careful. I am just warning you to be careful. Kay

92391I wonder if it was one of the amazon suppliers (like on ebay). I think you should notify them so they can go back and look at other transactions from the same dealer. did you happen to see the check out person run a piece of tape while doing your transaction. My information was stolen at joann's many years ago. It was a supervisor who did it.

In my case who do you confront, as it seemed suspicious at the time and I said nothing.

On Ebay the sellers do not have any access to your PayPal account numbers it is why they go through PayPal for the safety of accounts they also try hard to get people to not exit ebay and go to personal emails for contact, as everything in your ebay messaging can verify what was said by the other person in the transaction and ebay can pull them up to help settle any problems, once you go off, site then people can lie or alter messages that could bring facts into question. Glad the problems were resolved quickly. With electronic advances there are scanners that can read your card while still sitting in a wallet so while it likely was intercepted at either of the spots you suspect that would not mean that the stores were the ones doing illegal things. I am grateful that the banks seem to catch these types of theft quickly.
173690I canceled my acct w/Amazon because my card had been used in France...it was the only place I had used the card in months and months. My card company caught the charges and canceled the card. ( they knew I couldn't afford to go to France) lol

They say the thief will hold your info for 6 mo before using it. Makes it difficult to know when or where they stole it.
