I can't go out today. Earlier this morning my bank called me, apparently some asshole tried to buy $200 worth of stuff with MY credit card info at best Buy so I had to tell this lady who works at my bank that I haven't bought anything from those guys in over a year. So I had to get my credit card cancelled and wait a week for a new one to show up in the damn mail. Thank fuck the charge did not go through. I don't have the slightest idea how anybody could even get my credit card info in the first place. AND It's going to be a major hassle trying to get ahold of AT&T and DSL to give them the new credit card info. I remember what a pain it was last time I had to do that when my old credit card expired. Only Netflix was easy.

The one (I think only one) time my card was stolen, who ever did it used it to pay off numerous parking tickets. Like no tip off to the thieve's identity there.

I do commiserate, it is a pay to re-jigger all those things, plus being w/o a credit card until they get it to you.

Nobody stole my card, I don't even know how they got my information

Didn’t physically steal mine either, just got the numbers. I suspect there was a card skimmer at a parking lot I’d used, but like you, no way to know for certain.

It could have been someone who works for a store/company where you used your debit card. Good thing your bank was on the ball.
