I had a problem with my debit/credit card. |
|
They're sending me a new one and deleting my old account information because Visa thinks my card might have been compromised. Does anybody have any idea why something like this could have happened? Should I be worried? I'm going to talk to the bank tomorrow and get more information.

Mine was replaced last year, a store that I went to (Marshalls) had some kind of security breach and all their customers' banks were notified. My sister's was replaced a few days ago, I'm not sure what happened there.

2. I got a similar letter from my bank in the last week |
|
saying that my mastercard had possibly been compromised. I would keep an eye on whatever is hitting your account, but it's probably not a big deal.

5. Mine was "skimmed" at a legitimate business. |
|
Somehow a traveling band of Romanians managed to get an insider in. The cops told the bank to suspend my card,no one told me until I tried to use it. This bunch hits and moves on quickly.

6. How were you alerted to this? |
|
Just asking, because there's a new phone scam where you'll get a recording asking you to call a customer service number (which isn't associated with the bank), and when you call, it immediately asks for your 16-digit card number.
Me<---paranoid and doesn't want you to get scammed.
If it's not a scam, then :thumbsup: to your bank for watching your back.

8. Someone withdrew money from a bank machine I often went to. They |
|
must have had a card copier there. They deposited a fake amount of money and then withdrew it. When the bank called me I forced them to pull the video tapes. Was a pain in the ass but not the scariest thing I have ever been through.

9. I got a letter from my bank this week. |
|
Saying the same thing. It's possible that records were stolen from a merchant or something.

12. happened to me a few months ago with one of mine |
|
It should be no problem. It seems like they're on top of it - just look at your statement if you're worried.
