you are not responsible for charges on the card you did not make are you?? That is the plus of using a credit card and NOT a debit card. I would not worry about it if they cancelled the card and you are not being charged. This happens all the time, it is just the risk we take in using credit and shopping with cards. It probably seems like a big deal to you, but to the credit card people they are use to it and just write off any loss as just that.

Do they follow up on this stuff? They have the ship to address.

All that info on the internet didn't help all the people hacked at Target.

There are indeed steps people can take to reduce their risk, such as not using public internet services for secured transactions, ensuring their home internet system is locked and such. There is NOTHING an individual can do when the hacking occurs on a vendors or banks systems.

Something happened at Groupon also. Yesterday I got an email from them that I ordered one of their deals. Well I didn't order anything. The last 4 numbers of the credit card used, was not one I have currently. Immediately after that email I got 37 very strange coded emails.

I didn't open any of them and sent them to trash. I haven't used groupon in years. I went in and deleted all credit/debit card information.

I called Groupon this am, and they said there was a glitch in their system and this purchase was activated for many (?) customers and notifications were sent out. They refunded my money. Again, I don't know how I could have been charged since I wasn't using a cc with the numbers they originally showed.

Personally, I think they got hacked

OMG, how awful. Buck-i, I'm so sorry this happened to you!

Did those items show up on your "Order Status"?

and it didn't help me either when an international anti-American group hacked my American Express account a few months ago. Scary times we live in.

Am Ex has provided me with credit monitoring for 1 year.

I am really sorry that happened to you. Thanks for warning us and I just deleted two cards I had on file here.

Wow. This is awful. And the fact that they don't want to talk to you right away is SHOCKING!

Tons of information on the Internet to prevent hacking.

Stores like Target & Nordstrom's have security experts to handle that, and still...
