Fantastic...

Apparently, our credit card was hacked. Or something. We got a call from the CC company. It seems a very small amount was charged on many cards to this same internet construction company. Luckily, that's the only fraudulent charge. So, the cards are canceled and they're sending new ones. Now we have to go online and fix all the automatic payments and stuff. Fun times....

Oh no that is bad hun!! Hope it all gets sorted out soon!! Time to send in Eliot to whump some ass.

Yeah, it kinda sucks. But it sounds like it was caught early enough there won't be any real damage done. Just annoyance.

And if I ever find them, and somehow before that time befriend Christian Kane, he is totally getting sent their way.

Oh!! Did you hear?? Eliot is going to be singing in episode 6!!!!!

[daniel-shadow.livejournal.com]

OMG seriously?!!! Christian is going to sing!!! That is awesome!!!!! I cannot wait to see it!!

Which episode is that going to be in? CHRISTIAN!!!!!!!!!! *thud*

EPISODE 6. It's also the episode with John Schneider, AKA Bo Duke! Looks like the con is going to have something to do with the music industry.... :-)

Aw, crap, that sucks.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Yeah, just a bit.....

Ugh, solidarity, dude. Same thing happened to me the other year after a trip to Australia. There was no fraudulent debit, but the CC company wrote to me to say the card was compromised, and we had to cancel and re-organise all the bills to come out of the new number. It was a PITA, so you have all my sympathy!

Thanks. I'm just wondering what website the information got hacked from so I can avoid that site in the future.....

Speaking from the experience of having this done 3 times in 2 years I can most definitely sympathise...we've had 2 debit and 1 credit card cloned but provided you're with a reputable banking/building society, usually it's sorted out pretty quickly and any money taken reimbursed almost immediately...but it's a horrible thing to happen and sadly in this technological age, far more prevalent with each year...

{{{{Hugs}}}} to you both

Thanks. ((HUGS BACK))

It does seem like it's mostly resolved. Just waiting for the new cards and everything. I'm very happy Chase caught it after that one small charge and nothing worse happened.

[jessm78.livejournal.com]

Damn. I'm sorry that happened. Glad it was only one charge and not a very big amount. Sorry you have to go through all that, though. :( *hugs*

Thanks. ((HUGS))

Luckily hubby had just done grocery shopping, etc a few days ago. It just sucks that we can't really do anything until the new cards come in.

That really sucks. :/ It's unfortunate how common that is now days. Just last week one of my friends had a payment show up on his credit card for shipping charges from Great Britain to Ghana.... O_O

shipping charges from Great Britain to Ghana

o_O That's really... odd.....

this happened to me last year, so uncool that it was the only card I use online, I actually had it memorized. They sent a letter later, after all was said and done, saying that there probably hadn't even been a problem at all. Still, I'd rather they were paying attention than not.

[switch842.livejournal.com]

Yeah. We 0nly have this one card, so it's kind of putting a crimp in some things...

And with things like this, it's definitely better to be safe than sorry.
