Credit card compromised. Much annoyance.
Oct. 8th, 2018 08:48 pmSo, this morning about half an hour into the work day, I get a text message puporting to be from my credit card processor asking if I had made a $702. charge at the apple store. Hell no! I sez to myself. Being suspicious that this might be a phishing attempt, I call the main 800 number for the card.
Eventually I get through to a human being, and yup, there is a 702 dollar charge to the apple store, and further find that there is another name and address on file for my card. She transfers me over to the fraud prevention people. The charge gets cancelled, and hopefully the merchandise never gets shipped to the criminal.
It seems that last wednesday someone called the processor and had my name, SSN, home address, credit card number, phone numbers and everything. They added a women's name to the card account, and changed the billing address to someplace in missisippi. They cancelled the card, and will be sending out a new card.
Once the new card arrives, I now have the hassle of changing over my various monthly payments that are going to the now cancelled card. Grumble, bitch, moan, whine, complain...
