[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 298665, member: 3444"] I doubt the number was acquired by any other means than just randomness. This happens a lot. The thieves just keep trying number combinations until they hit on one that works -- then they run with it until they get caught. This happened to us one other time about 15 years ago -- again, it was an overseas charge that was flagged. I have to credit the bank, though, for being able to catch these things so quickly. No doubt their software system is set up to filter for certain activity flags like this. :) [/QUOTE]
