Last time my card was hacked, the CC company called me asking if I had bought $800 of camping equipment. Of course not!!! They took the charge off my card, then I remembered buying that stuff online while drunk. OOOPS.

@miss_msry: HA! When I was in college my checks got stolen, and I started getting NSF notices, so I called the bank, and they told me there were 3 checks to Western Wear type places in CO, totally about $5K, and I SWEAR, the first thing I thought was, "oh shit,did I get drunk and buy a horse??"

I make it a habit of shredding receipts and doing stuff to protect the card number. But whatever the case, it doesn't hurt to get a fully new # every 3-4 months.

I think by habitually being more caring about personal things (like your financial information), you're in better shape. If you even have the mere suspicion of it, it's free to get a new card. Bank will even lend you a temp. Also, consider using cash more often.

I don't think frauders are as sophisticated as one would think. If you stole all that info, you probably have a thread to pull. :)

That first hack, through DSW shoestores, enabled the crooks to get $3000 out of my checking account. BofA gave it back, fortunately, but the same guys got my brother's card, too.

Fuckers.

My wallet was stolen, and instead of being mad, I laughed my ass off. Just try to charge stuff on an already maxed out credit card asshole! (the maxed out card has been taken care of and paid off)

I was more pissed because my never expiring 20% discount for Ron Jons was in there.

@croberts:

I'm impressed by a man with a lifetime 20% discount at Ron Jons.

This happened to me this summer — little strange charges that grew over 3 months. My research led to a shadowy company in Montréal and Cyprus... so yeah, no more porn sites.

Most of the problems we now face can be traced back to insecure cash registers. Or is it insecure hackers?

I'm confused.

But I SWEAR it wasn't me who charged all of the sex toys, champagne, escorts and hotel rooms!

The last time my card was hacked it was for $400 at Chuk-ee Cheese somewhere in California. Oh, the shame!
