Wow... wonder where they got my card info from. =O.o=
Old card is toast now, someone got my card info but I'm honestly not sure where from. Only transactions on my statement (yay for on-line banking) are from QT locations and other businesses I've purchased from in the past, nothing else. All of them were VISA-charges, not PIN-using at least.
Noticed it since I went to check my balance to see if my paycheck cleared yet or not, how much cleared, etc, and was like, "Wait... $30 available after a $10 cash + $390 paycheck?" and looked much closer.
Whoever swiped my card info used it on the 25th to purchase something from The Purple Sphere (MMORPG item/loot reseller), then on the 29th and 30th to open Adult Friend Finder accounts. Purple Sphere was a direct-to-voicemail number for the credit-card charge number. AFF was actually super cool, even calling at 23:00CST they had someone on the line instantly, that immediately noticed the accounts were bogus (random hash of letters and numbers), closed them, and credited the charges back. While I was on the line with him, I called USBank, did the song-and-dance verification of identity, they closed my card entirely and started mailing a new one to me, and dropped a fraud-claim on the Purple Sphere charge since the PS wasn't able to be contacted.
But bleah/yeah, instead of getting a small treat for myself Right Now, I have to wait until all these charges untangle. =-.-=
