    It looks like most here are seeing fraudulent charges by companies that appear to be fronts for the sole purpose of stealing money from credit/debit cards. Try Googling the mentioned company names and you’ll see what I mean. It is my understanding that the business or entity that authorizes card transactions is ultimately responsible for all card transactions, whether it be credit or debit card. If the charge is false and disputed than that entity has to pay it. But if the entity in question is fake to begin with who then pays? Seems to me that Visa and MC need to better control who gets access to their services.

    Perhaps we should all do a better job reading and/or refusing the Agreements that the majority of credit and online companies require you accept before creating an account for their services. They all do it, and they even tell us they do it in the Agreement and 99.997% of us hit the Accept button. We've kind of done it to ourselves haven't we? The world of instant gratification. . just add to cart

    It's been two weeks and I continue to mop up messes. The latest was financing for a $2K puppy at a bank in Las Vegas, bad news I'm in Michigan. Whatever in the hell happened there was a huge breach somewhere. Everything is locked down at this point but afraid the damage was done. Just hoping I've caught everything. This is really wearing on me.

    I'm all for convenience but these on-line only banking institutions is simply asking for trouble and seem to be money laundering operations.

    I did a search for CNP fraud and while there were many stories about the increase over the past several years there was nothing on a recent breach. I asked about it on a forum for a different hobby of mine and there were no reports of recent incidents so maybe there is some connection to fishing.

    My only comment is this all started with the only card I've ever used at TW. It was also tied to my PayPal account. The rest they say is history......

    Got hit this morning for an Uber charge in Amsterdam.
    There was a time that I didn't fish but I cannot remember it.

    Terrible, that's also like 1lb of brisket with current day pricing.

    "They" all do what? Have you read the agreement? They say nothing about agreeing to have your bank account or credit card numbers available to people looking to steal your money. Shared information has nothing to do with this.

    In fact credit cards are considered the safest money to spend. Many (if not all required by law) protect you against any unauthorized charges. The unauthorized charges are also the credit card companies money, not your money, so while things are being sorted out, you don't have the burden of having your money stole.

    It sounds like you know nothing of what you speak, yet when a group of people are dealing with a problem, you like to jump in and preach about the old school way, when you don't understand what is actually going on.

    I have not been hit and I have never bought anything from TW. Coincidence? I think not.

    My CC got hit today but the CC company notified me about certain charges suspecting fraud and of course it was. Has to be from the TW breach.
