    Default Credit Card Hacked


    I got an email fraud alert from Visa last Friday wanting me to verify a suspicious charge. They wanted to know if I had charged over a thousand dollars for essential oils at a site called Young Living. (Sounds like me, right?) Of course I said I had not, they cancelled the charges and are sending me a new card.
    Well today guess what Fed Ex brought...two large boxes of essential oils and diffusers. I called Young Living (nice folks) and they reviewed the order. The hacker had set up an account with them using an email address nearly identical to mine, and listing a phone number only one digit different from mine. Their mistake was in not entering a different shipping address and in giving a second contact name (their real name I hope).
    Anyway, Young Living is sending me a shipping label so I can return their product, and their own fraud department is on it.
    No idea if the essential oils would attract crappie, but I bet not.

    Sorry about that man.....someone got my credit card number recently also....fraud dept. of bank took care of it and they sent me a new card....only $200....my new philosophy is I never let my card out of my sight....for instance, at a restaurant, I do not let them walk off with my card to ring it up...( I think that is how they got my number)....if they can not ring it up in front of me, I pay cash.....glad you got it fixed...

    I have a Chase Visa which has a setting where I get them to email me every time my card is used. I usually get the email on my phone by the time I reach my vehicle or sooner.

    That's a nice option! May need to check into that myself.

    Note not all visa cards have that option but if it does, use it.
