Got my American Express Card statement today. Haven't used it since November. There were two charges on statement, in British Pounds. Called American Express, and there is another more recent charge, for almost $400, from a PayPal purchase. Called PayPal, and someone has opened their own PayPal account, with my American Express Card.
I haven't got a clue how anyone got my account number. I'm very careful with such things. I didn't respond to any spoof emails, get all my mail at the PO Box, and nothing with account numbers goes in the garbage.
That credit card is closed now, but I wonder if more charges will show up, before it's done. Something I didn't know, you can't dispute a charge until it's on a printed statement. So I have to wait until next month, to dispute the PayPal purchase, and anything else that shows up.
Never thought it would happen to me!
