so this morning, i checked my online account and i saw that i got charged around $600 from sears.com. i called them and asked what the eff is goin' on andthey said that some dude from alabama bought like a leather jacket and im like %%%.

it just goes to show how scary the internet is. thank god i found out this soon or else that fool may have put me into debt.

this ever happened to anyone?
 
they got your billing address and the security code on the back of the card? i mean i guess so, since he did it. but wow

crazy
 
Closest thing was losin my Debit card when I was 15 and all they bought was Gas. It took my bank like 7 months to get my 20 somethin bucks back until theyfinally called and asked,

"Are you sure you didn't buy Gas at that time period?"
Me: Yeah, I'm 15 and I take the bus.
"Oh..."
 
Ironically, mine was also stolen online this weekend and was charged $1 by Dirt Devil. When I gave them a call, it was actually a security check since thecredit card address did not match the shipping address so they didn't charge me. WAMU quickly closed my account. I then cancelled my card right away andcurrently awaiting for my new one from the mail.

You got any idea how dude got your info anyway?
 
I'm also skeptical. My credit report alert me that I got a new account on my report. I haven't messed with my cards in months so I'm thinkingsomeone started a new account. Have to check that soon but got too much other #+$+ going on to find that out right now

nah. but it doesn't surprise me with the internet nowadays with all those spywares and stuff.
 
The same thing happened to my girl. Somebody went on a spree at the GAP. But its partially her fault because she swipes her debit card EVERYWHERE, even the lilshady spots. She doesnt use cash, and thats what happens.
 
Did you shop at sears recently? Sometimes those cashier copy your card info give it to a friend. Then they come in buy a few items and goes to the the cashierwhich then enter the info manually.

Calm down? A guy robbed him from thousands of miles away. This continues to happen because people don't take it seriously enough.
 
yea, it's happened to me before...someone spent like $1000 on some flower website.

lol, stupid bank employees
 
happend to me, got a mail from my bank saying they going to mail me a new card cause they think someone has stolen my idenity.
 
One afternoon a year or so ago I got a call from one of my companies asking me to verify the cash withdrawal I made at a gas station in Mexico. (I was in Ohioat the time.) They said don't worry about it and that any suspicious charges in the next year would dropped, no questions asked. Not exactly identitytheft, but it was a little jarring.
