How do they manage to do that? Credit card info leaks and then they use that somehow?
What a wonderful world, need to watch our backs all the time.
It's hard to tell where it leaked. It could have been at the auto parts shop I went to earlier, or any one of a number of online vendors.
In my experience, it could be almost anywhere - unless you seriously shield your cards. Over the past 30 years I've experienced card fraud 8 times. I strongly suspected where one got hacked, and was almost certain on one other. But mostly it's just like a fart in the wind.
That's the reason I have all online accounts set to notify me of any transaction. $0.01? I want to know about it because that's a card test amount.
