[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most likely the number was stolen from a vendor that had the number. [/quote]

To go shopping at Walmart in Alexandria?  Doesn't make sense. Gosh, I really wish it was someone from the outside. But I am terrified its my housekeeper. I don't know what to do. I do hope it's a random, internet hack though. But how do I know for sure???[/quote]

It's the Analyst again. It's impossible for you to find out. Fraud is committed in complicated ways. It could've been done through a merchant breach, a random credit card number guess etc. Just relax. [/quote]

Why are you advising relaxing in light of a breach?[/quote]

Because one doesn't alert Scotland Yard for something like this which happens all the time. You let the CC company know they were fraudulent charges, they remove them from your account, you cancel the card and get a new one so the old number no longer works. Probably every adult in this country has had a card number compromised at some point. It happens, you don't launch a worldwide investigation into it.[/quote]

And it has happened to a lot of us in the last few years far too often. We should have pins required for cc. I was glad to hear about the chips but have now come to understand they don't help that much. The cc compaines are also dragging their feet on getting the chip machines ready to go. [/quote]
