[quote=Anonymous][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]

Not the pp but the credit card company has already identified the fraud and the op will be protected from the fraudulent charges. She'll get a new card shortly. What else can she do at this point?

Personally I wouldn't keep credit cards in a drawer but unlikely that's where the number was stolen from. [/quote]

If OP has ever used that card to purchase anything, anywhere, the information is stored in the encrypted database of that retailer. Which get compromised all the time. It happened to Target! She should be absolutely ashamed that she's so ignorant of technology and immediately fingered her poor housekeeper.[/quote]

Hey, I didn't "finger" her.  I just don't know how credit card fraud works. That's why I am asking here. [/quote]
