This morning I found a voicemail from Wells Fargo asking if a charge to
my debit card was valid. Before I could call back I got a call from Bed
Bath and Beyond asking the same thing. I told the BB&Y fellow that the
charge was fraudulent and he canceled the order. Then I went to my
local Wells Fargo branch where they immediately killed the card and
ordered a new one for me. It turns out that there were four fraudulent
charges totaling a little over $300, which Wells Fargo is refunding to
me. I'm not out anything, but Wells Fargo and/or some internet
merchants are.
The strange part that I don't understand is that this card has never
left my possession, nor have I ever used it on the internet. In fact,
for the last several months the only thing I have used it for is to get
cash from a Wells Fargo ATM. I can't figure out how someone got the
card number and enough personal information to pull this off.
Thoughts?
