Identity Concern, part 2
About a month ago, I posted that the Bank of New York had lost my Disney shareholder information, and was offering credit monitoring.
Last night, I got a call from Chase questioning a charge on my credit card for over $7,000 on the Internet. Somebody had my card number. They didn’t have the correct expiration date so the charge didn’t go through. Chase closed that account and is issuing me a new card. I’m stuck until I get the card – even expedited (which they did because I’m traveling this weekend) I still have to wait until Wednesday.
It’s a good thing I have another card with a different bank.
I’m wondering whether there are other questionable charges on the account. I can’t see the account online because they closed it. I’m also wondering how they got my card number. I do this for a living – at my employer I’m the most likely IT person to handle a credit card fraud investigation. But it’s still a pain when it happens to you.
