WARNING!

another transaction went through yesterday, the bank said it was processed on the 6th, how come the 7 day delay to show up on my account. They accept I have been ripped off but now I have to put in another dispute form, give me a break.

[blackie]

cancel the card maybe?

[1orion2many]

The card was cancelled after the third transaction that is what is confusing the hell out of me

I wonder what kind of stuff they attempted to buy with your card...

maybe it's one of those manual transactions (and doesn't need the CVV code)

i find comodo to be quite an effective anti virus/ firewall program - you can set the degree of protection, to the point where any connection in or out of the pc requires your permission to continue. so if you access site x, and a file (spyware) rties to background download, comodo will detect and either block it or ask you to allow or block. it even wants to confirm for msn when it tries to log on

i highly recommend it - i also use malwareytes and spybot as secondary programs

Very interesting.
Maybe I will have to get that when I finally get a computer

I don't think cancelling a card will do anything unless they change the card number as well. So whoever has your credit card details can still purchase stuff over the internet.

I got seriously ripped off last week. The bank called me at 2:30 on a Saturday to ask about three transaction that had just happened on my credit card. Someone managed to duplicate my card (I still had mine in my wallet) and use it to spend about $1100.00 at a tobacco store, then another few hundred at Coles. Total fraud = $1490.

The last trasnaction had occured only 5 minutes before the bank rang me. they cancelled the card on the spot and they have now credited the amount to my account and I have a new card. They don't know how the thieves did it (yet), but I'm really impressed by how quickly the bank responded and fixed the problem... at least from my end.

Sorry to hear about it Stenc. I have now had a really weird phone call from the U.S, the guy said he was a courrier with a package for me, said my address which I confirmed then he wanted my birth date. I have never heard of a courrier needing a birth date for delivery, the guy said without it he would have to cancel the order. He told me it was a present of flowers and a teddy bear from a female but he couldn't reveal any details about them and all would be revealed when he delivered. I told him I was married ( I talked to my wife as the guy had to ring back a second time as he dropped out) and that my wife hadn't sent me anything, I said I had not heard of having to give your birth date out and that he wasn't having it, I said he could either deliver it or cancel but he was not having my birth date. Has anyone heard of a courrier needing your birth date for I.D before or is this a continuation from my account being ripped.
