Allow me to rant b/c we were talking about this yesterday (was it in this thread?): Credit card fraud. My God, I just checked my account and someone just put 4 charges on my card for over $100 on internet games. I am too through. Just shut down my card. This is like the 3rd time in one year for me after going years w/o fraud problems. I am fed up. Now I have to go to my bank tomorrow to get a new card and learn a new account number after just getting this card about 4 months ago. I really have to take a look at myself and see what I'm doing wrong b/c clearly I am making myself an easy target somehow. I just want to break something right now.

This is awful Shontay! I'm so sorry. I know there's a breach on Sony and Playstation.

Sorry to hear. These people have no shame!

That is crazy! That sounds more like your bank has a security issue than you do. Make sure you have adblock plus installed and that your internet security settings are turned up because you may have a tracker or something on your computer or from a website you visit which records keystrokes or something else like that - information which hackers and scammers use to steal your identity etc. One random time is put down to coincidence, but three times in one year.... no girl. I would be switching banks!

I myself am dealing with a suspected fraud - this time mail fraud. I ordered a set of brushes from the German brand Zoeva back in November. Their customer service is par excellence and they shipped out the package super quickly and it arrived in the US by DHL in like 2 days. Here starts the drama. DHL transferred the package to USPS for local delivery which was taking ages!!! The last tracking update I had was the day after Thanksgiving and it said that my package left the city next to my sister's city (the delivery city) assumingly to be delivered that day or the next. Two weeks later and NADA! I have been calling USPS, the local post office, everybody and their mama and no one can find my package! I am so upset as I was looking forward to getting the brushes and a friend and I ordered together to split the delivery fee. These were supposed to be our Christmas gifts - $250 in beautiful Rose gold brushes. Now I have to try to make a claim but because of international postal laws, the sender has to make the claim since the item was shipped from an international location. *huge sigh*

Whoa. That's terrible. I was thinking about getting Zoeva brushes either for Christmas or my birthday, which is next month. I hate when things are transferred to USPS because my mailman is a crackhead, but I usually get my stuff anyway. Just reading about your problem makes me uneasy, though and that Zoeva shipping doesn't help ease my mind at all. I was considering switching banks, but the one I'm with is so easy to get to. There's a branch everywhere. I'm going to get a new card tomorrow and do what you suggested by turning up my internet security and I've already changed all kinds of passwords. If it happens again, I will have to switch.

Yeah, definitely monitor it. I hope this time was the last time your cards get hacked.

I wouldn't let it put you off too much from trying Zoeva but I will definitely reserve my judgment until it's all resolved. The only good thing is that USPS' CS reps have been more than helpful in trying to help. *sigh*

I hope you get your stuff soon. It hasn't turned me off, but it has made me drag my feet. I'm obsessed with everything rose gold, so I think I will end up with some of those brushes eventually. I'll probably wait until the new year, though because mail is about to be a bitch until then.

Thanks! I hope so too. The rose gold is just gorgeous. Tell me about this mail madness. It is ridiculous!

OMG....we were just talking about this yesterday!!! I'm so sorry this happened to you....again! You're not doing
anything wrong. If a site that you used gets hacked, you're openly exposed to dishonest people. Some time ago
either my E-mail acct or Amazon's web site was hacked...I tend to think it was E-mail. Someone ordered a gift
card >$200. The confirmation for the purchase came to my E-mail and I immediately called Amazon, and they
stopped the transaction. The thieves had even written a Thank You note like it had come from me.

I hate that this inconveniences us---I memorized my long assed card number too because I've had it for at least
20 years. That's annoying in and of itself. The fact that someone attempts to steal from you warrants a good
rant! Don't break anything that you really like a lot!!!

OMG Shars, That is awful. I've had things significantly delayed once they reached USPS, only to turn up weeks later. In your case, I would keep bugging them, or
even go there with all of your documentation, if it's within a reasonable distance.
