We still don't know how the information got stolen. There is supposed to be a security guard accompanying everyone who enters our apartment, and we keep the doors closed to the office and bedroom (where the cards are, and they aren't in plain sight) because we don't like the cats in there while we are gone--to much for them to play with. For our computers we do try to keep them as secure as possible (I know it's not 100%) but we both run virus programs daily, run anti-spyware programs quite often and never had anything suspicious show up. Stan thinks that maybe the mail man had put our mail in the wrong slot (we get others mail all the time) and someone took it from there (this card company sends us all sorts of junk mail with sensitive info on it). Just really odd that it happened to the card we haven't used since November of 2006....

Well I hope they figure it out....

Vickie

Thanks Me too! You can bet we will be calling all of our other card companies and the bank now to make sure nothing else has been stolen that we aren't aware of

If I were you, once you paid it off, get rid of all credit cards so this can not happen again. How scary that would have been!

Vickie

But we need at least one credit card, it's impossible to get some stuff without them (like flights).........we are getting rid of two of the cards though as soon as they are paid off

They do small amounts to see if it works then they take bigger amounts. Happens to SC few months back.

That's exactly what the credit card person told us. I'm just happy the company noticed it and put a hold on our account immediately! I mean I know we'd get reimbursed but I still don't want someone out there running up charges! Especially on a card that I'm so close to paying off!!
