[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 298264, member: 1514"] I dont have a credit card but I have a debit card and I have never been hit for a transaction like this. I did get hit by the Russian mob once though...lol. They are particularly clever because they do mass transactions on millions of card numbers for really small amounts that most folks wont notice. Like $12.38 with a strange but legitatimate sounding business name. I noticed because I dont have much money in my account so I keep a close eye on it and didnt remember spending that odd amount...lol. I googled the business name and up came Russian Mob scam...lol. I contacted my credit union immediately. I do know that theives can get your debit/credit card numbers if you use them in restaurants or places that swipe them on machines that use carbons really easy. Also now you have to watch for ATMs that have a recorder that swipe your card number. Thats on the rise. [/QUOTE]
