Never thought it would happen to me, but tonight the wife found 2 different charges for $250, and another for $138 on one of our credit cards that we no longer use, but are in the process of paying off. In fact the charges were made on two seperate days this last week.
We reported it and they cancelled the 2 charges and put a freeze on the account. Unfortunately we dont' know what locations the 2 charges were made, but one was a hobby shop, and both of them said PayPal on the descriptions. I wish I knew if it was local or what. I'd like to find the person that did it.
Also, how someone would get the card info is a complete mystery. We have never used that card online, and have used it once in the last year, around 8 months ago, and I don't even remember where. When we make a payment on the card, we don't throw away the billing info, we file it away with the check number and date we paid on it.
All I know is we are checking our accounts weekly now instead of monthly when we pay on them.
I don't think its a mistake either. The two charges were in 2 different places on 2 different dates.
Anyone ever have something like this happen??
I'm so pissed off I don't know if I can even sleep tonight.
