We have lived in the US for 18 months now and had to deal with more fraudulent charges on our cards and bank accounts (about $2000
) than in the previous 30 years of living in Europe (a nice round $0).
I just don’t understand everyone is ok with this broken system.

This is getting curious: I got a new debit card in February and there were 3 fraudulent Amazon transactions in June, so if my card details were swiped or leaked it happened in the preceding months at… the California DMV? (Quite certain I didn’t give my card number away)pic.twitter.com/gb3tcuxqFk

I’m fairly confident those Amazon charges are indeed fraudulent, considering that: (a) I don’t use my debit card for Amazon purchases (b) Their customer service said these came from “suspended or blocked” Amazon accountspic.twitter.com/y6c2Ro0ml0

If the Amazon charges are indeed fraudulent, my card details could be leaked through: (a) Me being a dummy and accidentally showing my card to a scammer (b) The DMV terminals being skimmed (c) A merchant using Account Updater https://usa.visa.com/dam/VCOM/download/merchants/visa-account-updater-product-information-fact-sheet-for-merchants.pdf … (d) Something else?pic.twitter.com/BocmZX6v36

The debit card details didn’t get skimmed at the Target or restaurant, because those were Apple Pay transactions https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203027 pic.twitter.com/N2RDptIGXZ

And yes, I find this situation quite interesting as a payments professional
Let’s see what response the bank comes back with!Show this thread -
The bank is investigating the fraudulent transactions and I ordered a debit card replacement. Still no idea what happened thoughpic.twitter.com/Jk19My4YwE

Oh, shit, that's the worst. Usually when I get fraud it's some rando gas station in South Carolina or something. But I have about >$50/month in Amazon stuff my s.o. can't remember buying and doesn't appear in the records on the site for either of us.

Oh oh, that sounds pretty bad. I just looked through all my debit card transactions (which I never use for Amazon) and disputed them. About $400 in the last 3 months
