Last Tuesday I bought an iPad at my local Best Buy in Southern Utah. The next charge on my card was for health spa services in Ottawa Canada for almost $600.00. So when I went to the airport the next morning to travel on business, my card declined. Thankfully my CC company has a killer fraud department and stopped the card and froze my account.
Just 4 weeks earlier I bought a movie and then went to lunch, this time I used my bank visa/debit card.By the time I paid for lunch my account was frozen. Luckily my bank's fraud department declined the charge and froze the card. I supposedly was using my card and pin number in Redding, CA 10 minutes later, just 600 miles in 10 minutes. I'm not that good.
Two years ago, while on business in Tampa, FL., I bought an item at a Best Buy and that night I supposedly bought $700 on Bestbuy.com. Again my bank stopped it and froze the card.
I was telling a friend and he said the same thing happened to him last summer after a purchase on Vacation. Only this time it was $750 in Best Buy gift cards.
I googled Best Buy and CC breaches. A cashier in Florida was arrested after stealing 4000 CC numbers. Way to go Best Buy, finally after 4000 numbers they caught her after the police notified them.
Question. How can anyone use a CC at Best Buy without fear of being ripped off after the sale? Are the Geeks really that smart? Is their crack security watching you and me while the clerks are raiding the wallets of their customers?
I am pissed. If I wasn't traveling it would have been more dealable.
