Credit Card compromised (Fraud) !?
 

Anybody else have the credit card that they use to enter races online compromised? Somebody in California has been using my Credit Card number and information, at Neiman Marcus and buying food online at Chick-fil-a, as well as a Pizza Shop. Just so happens that this card is pretty much solely use to enter races. One of "MY" last transactions on the card is to "The Foat" (which I believe is a California credit card processing company) for my entry to the divisional at Rockingham in October. Apparently it's not a very secure site. Pay attention and thank God for Banking Security Systems.

Jim, keep in mind that most NHRA employees took large pay cuts, and
may have been a little short at Christmas shopping time.

Jim, yes I had the same thing happen to me with my credit used to enter Rockingham. Just like you someone in California attempted to use my card number however they shut it down immediately and called my cell for verification since it did not fit my purchase habits. They asked if I was in Cal. visiting since my address is N.C.

I bought a part for my mustang(never received part) and used my PayPal to pay for the part.I never could get PayPal to answer the phone or email for over a two month period.I had to go to my Credit Union to get my money back.

Say what you will about big banks but Bank of America has bailed me out more than once with fraudulent credit card activity and once when a check we wrote to a distant relative was apparently “remastered” and used to write a check which was cashed at a credit union. Needless to say we don’t write many personal checks anymore. Once your checking account is compromised it’s a pain to reorder new checks and change all the direct deposits, especially SSA. BofA has a good phone app where you can set notifications for card usage, undoubtedly others do as well.

It seems you're on your own when there are PayPal issues.

A few weeks back I checked my bank account online and saw a $500 transfer to PayPal. This when I hadn't used PayPal for anything for several weeks. Looking at the transaction details I saw that it was to buy bitcoin, something I never even considered doing. So I logged in to PayPal and found that I apparently had received the bitcoin, but I suspected that it was some sort of fraud and followed PP's normal process to dispute the charge.

I got an automated email a little later telling me they were starting to investigate and it could take several days. A day or two later I got another automated message that said they were closing the case because they determined there was no unauthorized activity.

I appealed that, reopening the case, but a couple of days later I got an identical email telling me there was no unauthorized activity. I managed to track down an actual phone number for PP and after a very long time on hold talked to a real human. But once he heard the story he told me that his department couldn't help, and the proper group could only be reached electronically. He then described the exact procedure that I used to make the initial claim.

By then I figured my best bet was to try to cash out the bitcoin which I did, actually getting a few dollars profit on the transaction. And since at that point I had lost all confidence in them, I closed the account. At least I didn't lose any money on the deal, but if this transaction could happen without my knowledge who knows what might happen in the future? And it's obvious if someone does raid my account PayPal would do little or nothing about it.

I must say you have done better than me. After many tries I still have not found a way to talk to a real human.
