Interesting Day (Credit Card Fraud)

[68Charger]

Many legitimate businesses are using moblile/tablet payments these days, so I'd hardly call that a warning sign.

I've never seen a issue around this... I personally like this, because the card doesn't leave your sight- if your waiter/waitress takes your card away, they could swipe it in a "skimmer" while they have it out of your sight- which is what I believe happened the only time I've ever had a CC unauthorized charge... new restaurant (not just new to me, they just opened), then early next morning I get a text for a charge at sportmansguide.com I contacted CC company and they handled it... I was able to use info I got from the CC company to get into the Sportsman's account they created (prodded a little, they "aren't suppose to share except with law enforcement"- and they were shipping it to a (presumably vacant) house in Littleton.

I contacted the restaurant to let them know they need to look at their card handling procedures, since the only time I've ever had CC fraud was hours after patronizing their restaurant... and don't be surprised if there is a and issue getting payment, since the card had to be cancelled as a result of this (that got their attention).

Those of you experiencing frequent fraud, I would look into what financial institutions and places you are charging- maybe this is just much more common in large cities.... my mother-in-law was hit several times in a year, turns out it was her oldest son's girlfriend copying down her info.
