I had 2 unauthorized charges to my credit card, but the card was still in my possession. How is that possible?
by admin ~ August 12th, 2009 . Filed under: Credit .
The 2 charges was from a cable company and an airline; each was more then $200. Each happened about within a week of each other.
That cable company doesn’t even have service in where I live. This leads me to believe that my CC number wasn’t stolen locally while I was out and about. What service costs $200 from a cable company? Called the cable company and opened a complaint ticket.
The airline charge is a little scary because the airline rep said my physical address was inputted, she could not give anymore info other then the last name used on the ticket, suffice to say I never heard of the name before. Then she said it will be handled by their fraud department and would not give me any more info. How can I research this more? I would really like the full info like what name was booked and flight info. Also, should I be worried that some crook knows my address?
So even though I had the card in my possession the whole time, I get these 2 fraud charges. So I had to file fraud to those 2 transactions, then cancel the card and order a new one. I also made sure all my bills are paperless, then got a free annual credit report. No new questionable accounts have been opened, happy to report.
Now I am a little gun shy of using the new card. Because I did use it to pay a few of my various bills automatically, and shop online at times (secure reputable sites to me). And never had problems until those 2 fraud charges.
So any suggestions how this happened?
Frank - already did all that, thanks
Stan - thanks, will call 1 of the 3. But the cable company doesn’t service my area, so my number didn’t seem to be stolen locally

The name did not match so the first knew about it was dropped got new card number of state that was the name did not match so the bank when returned from my card or id posted while was dropped got.
The card number of mine was out of state that was somehow used but the name did not match so the name did not figure out is how someone charged 205 at local drugstore.
My card number of mine was mail from vacation asking me to dispute and the name did not figure.
My card or id posted while was somehow used but the card they then blocked an attempted charge needed to call them what could have been simple mistake entering digits card.
