Fraudulent charged on my BofA debit card.

[brikon]

I have Regions, I had 2 unauthorized purchases this past year. They happend right after I used my debit card at a Indian Gas Station. Now I only use cash at Gas Stations.

Safer than Subway.

That is crazy as Subway has/uses some the most secured soft ware. I bet it was just that franchise/employee there.

And to the OP, about once a year or less I have to change cards due to fraud and have always gotten my money back.

BoA is anti-gun. I stopped doing business with them 17 yrs ago because of that.

Someone just charged $244 on my debit card with Nike.com. I've never purchased anything from Nike.com. Bank of America was very nice and canceled/reissued my card, but this is the 7th time since 2016. I confirmed that with the guy at BofA. Am I the only one this is happening too and this frequently? I would understand once and a while, but 7 times in 2 years??

Do not use Debit card at the gas station. EVER.
Think back, what was a common place between all cards where you used it?

My late wife's card was used fraudulently several times. I had no problems. We suspected a store in town.
Went to that store year later, and my Credit card was fraudulently used 3 days later (2 one way tickets on America Airlines from Moscow to London and lots of booze and food on that flight. African sounding names) . Have not been back to the store, no problems since.

Do you use your card to pay bills on your computer? You could have a virus that is giving your info to hackers.

I pay everything via online, so no telling. I was told one time to never run your card as a debit at gas stations and to always run it as credit so you enter your zip code and not your pin number. I actually do this almost everywhere. If they had my number and pin, they could wipe out my checking account and I would be ****ed. I'm really not that concerned with fraud charges as BofA credits these immediately. I had someone run up $1200 up in NJ last year for welding gloves.....I don't weld and have never been to NJ...BofA had the money back in my account before I even hung up the phone. It's more of an inconvience thing for me as I have to re-set up my auto-pay accounts.

Honestly, I use mine everywhere. I think security is far behind what the crooks are able to do....hell in the last year, I've seen Best Buy, Target, BofA, even some of the credit reporting agencies getting hacked. They could have gotten my info from a hell of a lot of sources, not just a gas station.
