My co-workers credit card was hacked

April 3rd, 2012 at 04:07 pm

Ugh! Co-worker came back to work yesterday after having Spring Break off....was telling us that over the weekend they received a call from their MasterCard questioning a charge...yep...you guessed it....fraudulent charge.

I guess she pays $8 a month for fraud protection so she was happy (kinda)?? that it acutally paid off to have that protection....on the other hand....I am sure she wasn't thrilled her credit card was hacked either!

I think this kind of thing is only going to get worse....2 people I know in the past week? Yikes!

    I've started using cash at any place where they take the credit card/debit card out of your sight to run it. It's a little more of a hassle, but if I can't see the entire transaction than I'm not going to use it there. It's just not worth it.

    I really feel like it can be dangerous to use a credit card at many retail establishments, because it can lead to account theft. There is just no insurance against people taking a photo or an impression of the card, and it makes me very suspicious even of the people who are probably honest. Sign of the times, I guess.
