[QUOTE="South Park, post: 891788, member: 73194"] I've had one credit card stolen twice in 5 years, probably due to payment processor hacks. Another was stolen years before I used the internet. In each case, the bank notified me before the statement was sent, and I was reimbursed every time. All of the criminals made small charges to test the card before making larger charges. Two of the fraudulent transactions were the creation of fake dating profiles at match[.]com even though I have never visited or used any such website. At the time, I assumed my PC had been hacked, so I spent hours scanning it with multiple AV products but found no malware. Interestingly, one case happened 3 days after I filed a fraud alert because of stolen physical mail from my mailbox. Now I receive all financial statements electronically and try to minimize junk mail which could be harvested for personal information. [/QUOTE]
