Hi,

I too found the forum searching for something that happened to me.

I went online to check my Discover statement on 1/2/08. I noticed 44 charges starting on 12/28/07 to 12/29/07 from Walmart in TN totaling around $3500.00. I called Discover immediately and was transferred to their fraud division. They said they'd remove the charges, close the card and issue me a new card. I received my new cards today and registered my new card online. I went on and noticed that they missed 2 of the fraudulent charges. I called them back. My investigator wasn't in, so I talked with another one, he made a note to remove them. He asked if we'd ever been to TN or lost my card. I said no. I asked him if these charges were made over the internet. He said that their system shows the charges were made by a credit card at the store and that someone had made a duplicate copy of my card. I thought that's scary because I only used it around town for Christmas. So someone must've swiped it with a fraudulent card reader. Anyway, after I got off the phone I wondered if we used that card when we went to SC for vacation. I pulled out the statement and I had. So for 2 weeks from CT to SC we used that card just about everywhere we went, so I'm wondering now if it happened during that time, with the states being so close. Anyway, after reading your posts, NOW I'm thinking maybe you're right, maybe there was a security breach. According to the person I spoke to on the phone tonight, whomever made the copy of my card was part a "very sophisticated fraud ring"....(or maybe not). Oh, and the funny thing is on 12/22/07 I had received a call from Discover verifying the large amount of charges made on the account between 12/21/07 and 12/22/07, all of which were all around my town, I was glad they called and checked anyway. Maybe they could've called when they had 42 charges on 12/29/07 from TN.
