I've been using credit cards for over 40 years with no problems. That is until the last 3-4 months or so. 99% of my online CC purchases are here on CPF. About 3-4 months ago, I got hit with my first fraudulent CC charges in all these years and I finally found out they were from internet porno sites and I have NEVER visited a porno site, EVER!
Of course I had to cancel my Visa card which I had been using for over 30 years with the same number. I reported the fraud to the authorities and received a new card with new number from my CC company.
Now this month I get a whole new slew of bogus charges on my new card and they are listed only as "online charges". Luckily, my CC company contacted me before they sent this month's bill and said all of the fraudulent charges originated out of South Korea. They of course are rejecting all of these charges but it's getting out of hand online.
Now in just a few months, I'm having to cancel my card for the second time. Anyone else having constant problems with fraudulent online charges? I just wanted to alert everyone about this.
My CC company said I should only buy from online dealers who use very secure payment services like PayPal.
