Just as it says. I received a call from my credit card company today regarding a suspicious charge. The company was Mom Enterprises that sells baby products. They declined the charge and are issuing me a new card number.
I'm wondering if there is anything else I need to do? Aside for cutting them all up and just paying cash.
Jon,
I hate to be an alarmist, but you REALLY need to call back to your CC company's customer service line and confirm this. The recent scams are to call the consumer pretending to be the CC fraud department and saying exactly what they told you about a suspicious charge; usually a charge from another country. Their ploy is to get you to reveal the 3-digit CVS (?) number from the card. They already know everything else; your name, your CC number, your exp date, and your phone number. What phone number showed up on your caller-ID?
This is all probably legit, but it won't hurt to call them back to make sure. Under no circumstances would the CC company need you to give them the 3-digit number. The "fraud department" will tell you they want it to make sure that you are the right person and that they are talking to the right person. This is not true.
CANCEL ALL CARDS AND HAVE NEW ONES REISSUED.i went through this last year even my passwords was compramised on my computer. sorry hijack over i just wanted to warn ya
