I think it was the person who took my information because it was done in a closed off room with some background noise. I can't imagine someone hearing it. If they did though, my company has opened an investigation into it though, and whoever it is if they're in the states, is probably going to get arrested/sued by the company.

More than $200. And another $200 at a travel agency. But that charge was blocked/cancelled before it went through.
They're going back and having to fix the other one.

That sounds awful! I have hard time believing something like that can actually happen.

We are both here to tell you, unfortunately, it happens much more often than you think.

I think it was within thailand, so there may not be much I/they can do about it. But travel agency suggests they were planning on doing and spending much more.

When you have credit worth stealing its not that uncommon. :/ Especially if you've made internet purchases or have any kind of credit monitoring account, like ones that use equifax (which is most of them, just fyi).

Yeah apparently they know how to figure out what your credit card balance is. And it ever any given time I never know what my balance is to be honest. But I have become much more diligent and paranoid so maybe I'll save more money. At least this is the credit card I use and pay off each month so I don't accrue any interest charges. It's my cash back card so that's how I save money and the things that I buy online I go through shop at home or Ebates and I'm worried about Ebates because that's something new that I started using like a month ago. I'm a paranoid little fidgety hummingbird

Oh, this fraud stuff happens more and more as the years go on. That's one of the reasons for companies trying facial recognition and fingerprints as passwords.

I have fraud alerts on my accounts.
But it doesn't stop them from happening, just tells me that it has.

Wasn't it so that if you live in US it is almost impossible to live without credit card? I wish I never have to get one.

It is really difficult to live in the US without a card, at least for me because I get my money once a month.
Sometimes I have to let something "float" on a card for a bit while I wait for my money.

It could've been a tapped phone as they phone the company supposedly "end" the call but they're still on the line and just wait for the next genuine call thus can hear everything.

I guess, but if so, its a good thing we alerted their fraud team, isn't it?
They can see who the last person to access our account was and then pinpoint it from there.

Yes? All the talks about how impossible it is to get a loan or a job, for example, is something I have heard many times.

Oh, if I knew who all was stealing my information I would hunt them down and light them on fire. So its probably better I don't know.
