Credit card fraud

Turns out they were already aware of the fraud.  7 other transactions happened between my account statement and today, all in Euros or US$.
They've already cancelled my card, but they never called me...  Weird.  I'll have to sign an affidavit as you said, I should get in the mail pretty soon.

I wonder what happens to the merchants who authorized the card, assuming there's no fraud on their part, are they still getting paid for their transaction?

I believe the bank eats the loss.

Also, I've discovered it is a really good idea to tell your credit card company if you are travelling overseas ... otherwise, they might cancel your card when you are in East Buttfuckistan, and you will have lots o fun trying to explain why your card doesn't work to a East Buttfuckistanian merchant you just bought $2,000 worth of tourist tat from.

Who the fuck buys a stroller in East Buttfuckistan?

Yes, I've had this problem twice when travelling to the US

Yep.

While we're doing helpful hints for travelers, let me add that anyone traveling overseas should carry with them *more than one* credit card so that they have a backup means of payment.  I don't know how many times I've heard through my customers (which are mostly small-sized banks) that Mr. Smith is traveling in Tuscany and lost his *debit* card, which was the only card he took with him and I need to magically teleport a replacement card to him today.

I have a friend who travels frequently to the east coast. When travelling through Ohio, he has to make sure he remembers not to use his credit card because his bank labels all transaction in Ohio as fraud. He's had it cancelled on him a couple times.

We need his card to buy Sutafed.

I called them, once, for my personal card.  I had a purchase in Quebec city on New Year's Eve, and although the details of what I did that night were fuzzy , I clearly remember I was home.  I simply asked for a copy of the receipt, because I said it could be me, I just didn't remember, it could have been an internet transaction, but the name on the statement didn't mean anything to me.
Instead, they cancelled the transaction and I got an email from the merchant telling me they received a charge-back, and I had to re-do the transaction.

So, I was just wondering the procedure, it seems to change from time to time.

It's Sudafed. The Walter White method doesn't use that anymore

Tell the Kentuckians who drive up here to buy it. Stupid fucks walk right into Walgreens and try to buy more than one box of the stuff.

Over the last few years Bank of America has contacted me a couple of times when they suspected fraud, so they stopped it before it became anything expensive. They would then reissue me a new card. My credit cards are handled by BoA, even ones not in their name, and they've done a good job so far with fraud stuff.

Classic.    We keep it behind the counter now.

You can spot the meth heads a mile away anyways.

Even better is when the cops pop their trunk and it is full of Sudafed.
