last week I had my chevron card hacked to the tune of $375.00. Three purchases o $120.00 within an hour at a S. FL gas station. I was at a funeral at the time.
Just got off the phone with Bank of America. They wanted to see if I was in Atlanta at the Apple store. Somebody just put $6500 on my card. Usually I give attitude when I get an out of the blue call, figuring its somebody fishing. When Chevron called, they left a message and I called back. They asked for my account number and I would not give it to them, explained why (I suspected fishing). They looked it up then grilled me on the charges. My response was "You called me because you suspected fraud...now you don't believe me when a tell you it isn't me?" Who buy 40 gallons of gas, 30 min later buys 40 gallons of gas, then 30 min later buys 40 gallons of gas? On the BOA call, they gave me my acct number, didn't ask for any proof of who I was (SS#, DOB, etc) because they would not have gotten it.
