Question:
Fraudulent Transactions on credit card statements?
2009-01-13 23:30:06 UTC
I just checked my credit card transactions online and I noted there are 2 $100 charges fraudulent transactions made at florida gas stations, one in hialeah and one in miami. Both were made at gas stations, and I just called the credit card company to report it and I also told them that I just go to outback steakhouse 5 days ago and tell them where the location is and the waiter's name that take my credit card to process the transactions.

So I want to know why they only use at gas stations instead and I also want to know will the credit card company found out who the thief is?

i'm chief Investigator at a great internet shop, I got here up interior the path of the ranks commencing as a fraud analyst. Get a sparkling card account quantity. there is incredibly not the rest which would be performed. even yet it sucks, the guy is an evil thief, and so on. and so on. -- there isn't something the police can do, or have the time or factors to do, and it quite is only not nicely well worth the time or potential required to circulate on a wild goose chase. Does that stink? i assume it does. yet tens of millions of fraudulent transactions circulate on continuously. hundreds of them on a daily basis. it quite is area of the fee of doing agency. No single fraud of that style is nicely worth going after. basically whilst a transaction is a factor of an exceedingly great case regarding hundreds of such transactions by an identical people is there any fee in attempting to nail the scum. you could record a police record. not the variety of undesirable thought if if makes you sense greater constructive. do exactly not anticipate plenty. the e-mail handle is unquestionably ineffective. that's a disposable handle, it became signed up with pretend information. the main suitable element you're able to do is have the fraudulent can charge canceled, get a sparkling card quantity, and save that freaking element to your self. Oh, and fergodsakes -- end ANSWERING those PHISHING E-MAILS!

It's hard to say why your card information was only used at gas stations. Maybe the thief just needed gas. As for finding out who the thief is, I don't think they do that. My dad was a victim of identity theft and although we knew the person's name who stole my dad's info (we were receiving bills at our address under his name), they didn't tell us anything about whether or not they were going to locate and arrest him or anything. I'm sure they could have... he was buying a lot of stuff and it obviously wasn't coming to us, so I don't see why they couldn't get his address from whatever companies he was buying from. Maybe they do, but I don't think we asked. Maybe all the credit card company does is deal with your account and that's it. I'd ask your credit card company, though, if you really want to know. I'm kind of curious now myself.
