Credit-card fraud may be less frequent; it definitely seems easier to deal with
Checking your e-mail in the middle of a baseball game is a selfish and crass thing to do. But it paid off–in a selfish and crass way–Sunday afternoon when I glanced at my device between innings and saw a new message from Chase Fraud Alert with the subject line “Action Needed: Please confirm this transaction.”
That e-mail reported an “online, mail or phone” charge of $326.91 on my business card from “RAZ*CL EDUCATE LIMITED.” My first thought was “who?” My second: Wow, it’s been a while since somebody’s tried to commit fraud with one of my credit cards.
After some quick searching confirmed that I’d had no prior interaction with this firm (apparently an Indian knowledge-services company), I tapped the “No, something’s wrong” button in the e-mail to swat aside the charge. Then I returned my attention to the game, an enjoyable 7-1 rout of the Cincinnati Reds.
About an hour later, my phone buzzed with another notification: Google Wallet had my replacement Chase card ready for tap-to-pay purchases.
The last time I had to deal with this nonsense happened long enough ago that I had to search my e-mail for evidence–which instead reminded me of how often Citi’s fraud-detection systems have nagged me with false-positive alerts. The last for-real incident may have been in 2018.
Back then, getting a fraud notification and having to cut up the compromised card felt like an annual ritual. The financial-services industry deserves a golf clap for the progress it seems to have made since then.
My replacement physical card arrived in the mail Friday, as predicted by Chase’s app on my phone.
That app, however, also showed that I still had a charge from this miscreant enterprise, so I had to call Chase to get that fixed.
After some automated gatekeeping–I was amused to hear the interactive voice-response system ask me to “enter the last three digits printed on the signature panel on the back of your card” when this card, like many, has no signature panel–a rep fielded my call and then handed me off to the bank’s fraud-response department.
After some additional verification–the last four digits of my Social Security number, as if that hasn’t been data-breached around the Earth, plus my mother’s maiden name and a one-time code texted to me–the second rep told me they’d seen “multiple transactions for this from the same company” but had somehow missed this one. She said they’d wipe that out.
If that happens–and if, better yet, this problem can refrain from recurring until 2034–that would be great.

#Lessons from #Wednesday:
1) If you're going to try and commit #creditcardfraud with my plastic, don't insult me by trying to get a hotel in one of the armpits of the #USA. #Tennessee? Lmao! A Marriott in stupid country? #Really?! #lmao. #Dobetter.
2) Trying to book a hotel with a stolen #creditcard ain't going to get you all that far. Maybe that's why you're in a #redstate to begin with.

"Scammers Target Desperate EV Drivers with Fraudulent QR Codes
Fake QR codes direct EV drivers to a malicious site when all they want is to charge their car."
by Dan Carney, Senior Editor
September 9, 2024
"[S]cammers are replacing the EV charging networks’ QR codes with their own, directing these unsuspecting victims to their own malicious site. Once there, drivers enter their credit card information in a bid to pay for a charge, only to have the scammers steal that information for misuse.
...
'Quishing, or QR phishing, is a cybersecurity threat in which attackers use QR codes to redirect victims to malicious websites or prompt them to download harmful content,' explains security specialist company Cloudflare."
Had my credit card stolen and used by someone in Brooklyn. No idea how my card was stolen or when. Last time I was in NYC was over a year ago.
I hoped they enjoyed their $70 pasta dinner, the card was shut down shortly after. No loss to me. #creditcardfraud
@UP8 So if the banks fixed this digital wallet loophole, why has my local bar decided to refuse digital wallet transactions? They're reporting massive use of stolen cards being used with digital wallets. Did the banks just fix their apps and expect criminals to update their local copy? 😒
I don't know where to report something like this. My mother in her 70s sent me this link asking if she should buy this. Obviously no.
It is clearly an attempt to steal credit card data. If someone knows how to shut this site down, please do, people are getting hurt.

Two Romanian men nabbed by NSW Police in Sydney for a high-tech $3.75M credit card scam. Luxury lifestyle funded by skimming devices, 1500 fake cards found. Regular bank statement checks and PIN protection are crucial. #CreditCardFraud #CyberCrime #StayAlert https://thepost.au/2023/09/28/sydney-credit-card-scam-foiled/
"The attacker, masquerading as the hotel, reaches out to the customer through the booking site, urging the customer to “re-confirm their credit card,” then steals the customer’s information."
This is an interesting attack scenario. PCI DSS 4.0 is going to improve internet fraud prevention requirements but it does not really have much to prevent against this sort of scenario.

I had a subscription renew yesterday. The fraud department at my credit union had a conniption. They contacted me by text, but I did not notice until this morning. Then they tried to call twice during my walk, but of course that was NO FUCKING CALLER ID!
When I got back from my walk, I checked the text, then checked my account, saw that it was fine, and texted back that nobody was defrauding me.
I know @haveibeenpwned provide a fantastic website for checking email addresses but, is there anywhere that does something similar for credit cards? I have now had fraudulent transactions on my credit card account for the 2nd time in 9 months. 1st card had been stopped and new card with different number issued. Now it also has fraudulent transactions. I'd like to investigate this in more detail.

According to Cybersixgill's report, supply of stolen credit cards has fell between 2019 and 2022 by approximately 90%.
Report states that strong cardholder authentication (MFA), fraud detection&prevention, improved e-commerce site security and law enforcement crackdowns have contributed to decrease of supply.

One of my rarely-used credit cards was compromised, as someone tried to Grubhub some Denny's with it today (no grand slam for you!). The fact that it was used at GH means they have the CVV and my zip. I've only ever used this card with big PCI DSS-audited merchants (like Amazon), and the very few in-person transactions on this card never involved someone else having a chance to glean the CVV from the back (I always inserted or tapped while having physical control of the card).
Where the hell did they get my CVV? #crime #fraud #creditcardfraud
