Friendly reminder about credit card fraud
I recently had a stolen credit card fraud problem, that I think is related to a hobby source (I'm not naming, as I am not certain of those source at this point). I'm just posting to remind people to regularly, if not daily, check their credit card/bank/etc accounts purchases to identify and nefarious or suspicious purchases. It's best to identify and rectify problems sooner rather than later. The information was most probably stolen online and was used for online purchases-- a physical card wasn't lost, the purchases weren't local and the specific information of the card and one purchase narrowed down the breach.
Also happily note that phone calls to the bank cleared things up-- the bad purchases were negated, credit card cancelled and no money is lost. I'm just reminding of proper personal finance practices, not trying to unduly scare people. In short and in summary, it's a good thing to check your bank/credit/paypal accounts regularly.
