Awwww, sorry Bailey!  It\'s ridiculous isn\'t it?  fortunately, so far I\'ve only had one incident like that, but I try to keep a close watch on everything since it happened.  Good thing they notified you!---

That is terrible. We had that happen to our debit card. It was actually my hubby\'s card, that he rarely uses. It was an internet charge, and the fraud dept of the bank caught it before I even knew it happened. People are unbelievable.---

How awful! Do you use it all the time? Maybe you can narrow down where the numbers were stolen ---

OMG...This stuff is aggravating Bailey...
I recently had 3 CC compromised in the TJ Maxx computer breach...it a pain getting the accounts numbers changed - what I do right now, is only try to use a credit card on the net, where the credit card issuer allows me to use a virtual number rather than the actual credit card number..

Also, check for key logger programs on machines that you use, they will log everything and sent account info to a server..I signed up for a credit monitoring service and basically check everyday..can\'t be too OCD....---

Awww man, that just stinks!  I swear the internet has made it much easier for crooks!  It\'s soo creepy - even if it is on the internet!  I had my house robbed once and I felt so violated....it was too creepy knowing that someone had been going through my stuff!  Once I came home and found my landlord going through my underwear drawer and drinking some of my liquor! GROSSSSSS!!!

I\'m sorry that happened to you, but thankfully American Express is on top of things - if you only have one credit card, make it American Express!

Bailey I know how you feel - exactly the same happened to me three weeks ago but the worst thing was that they had used my credit card at a CRAPPY DISCOUNT clothing store! At least then buy Versace for goodness sakes LOL!! Seriously though, these people are such low-life scum that I want to pull my hair out and scream. Earn your own money people!!!!!*Sorry for the rant*

Thanks Ang - American Express is extremely proactive......so when they saw large charges being shipped to other addresses, then a red flag went up.

Even though so many of these sites claim they are encrypted, somehow I really wonder if they are.

I just found out that this person has been ordering flowers and having them sent to the same person in Wisconsin!  I got this information from florist.com
The first few charges were low, below $50.00 - then once I guess they saw those charges being accepted they decided to go for the gusto!  :(

Unbelievable.  :(  You can never be too safe with your information.---

Estelle - I am sorry this happened to you too.......three weeks ago, is exactly when my situation started.  And the first few charges were so low - it didn\'t pose a red flag.  The thing that amazes me is how these people have items shipped to a particular address and receive their merchandise without getting caught - eventually they will investigate and find out who\'s address it is.

The small charges with the florist were all being sent to the same person in Wisconsin!  This is so unbelievable.  I hope your situation didn\'t cause too much of a problem for you sweetie.---

Linda - thank goodness California doesn\'t make us put the social on the driver\'s license, but could you imagine the problems that would arise from that?

Unbelievable.  :(

I am sorry you had to go through this, you feel so violated.---
