Cursed Credit card fraud

[frontlinefodder]

i received the worst possible phone call this morning.

somebody has hijacked my ccard and the bank has had to put a block on it.

the first and only thing i could think of was...

NOOOO Google has not debited the amount for my c200 yet.

I've been waiting soooo long then some B@$|@*rd hijacks my card, couldnt they have waited just 1 more week.

i think i am a little jaded.

Shocking!!!

I'd contact sales to inform them. Do you have another card you can place on your google account?

Its not that big of a deal .. The same thing happened to my chase card .. i called the # on the back and a Automated process asked me a few questions about my popcorn hour order and it lifted the block .. then on the Google page you hit retry order .. Easy as pie .. I doubt anyone hijacked your card so no worries at least i hope not .. Good luck buddy

No it was not the popcorn hour they were asking about it was the 3$, 30$ and 90$, etc orders being made in the US (I'm in AU). The bank put a block on the card after speaking to me about them this morning.

just checked my google checkout and their debit on my card has failed (no shock there), all i needed was 8 hours, google would have made their debit and I wouldnt be so upset, but this may delay me getting my c200

Your bank does not have some kind of alert system?

I know for my bank "Bank of America" if a charge is made to my credit or debit card without it being physically swiped, i get an email to the address the bank have on file and a text message to my phone informing me how much was charged, what merchant charged it, and a 800 number for me to call to dispute the charge if i didn't make it. Its strange you get charged 3 times without your knowledge, imagine if the amount was higher

It happened to me twice already with my credit card, the first time was a subscription to the New York Times for $1, the second time was Apple Itunes for $1. The best thing is that its same day alerts.

.

the bank I am with is quite good, they will phone you immediatly when a transaction looks suspicious. I on the other hand didn't answer my phone for 30mins. By which time 2 more transactions had been made. Standard practice over here is once a card has been compromised it is cancelled and a new card (and number) is issued.
