I go to the CC website.

Re: Fraud Alert
I had to get a new card for a less than $10 charge x 2. I didn’t catch it until the second time. My bad, but the cc company removed them both.
It’s going to get worse before it gets better.

Re: Fraud Alert
The 5 - 7 day wait is unacceptable. You could find a new card company with a better deal and have it in the same time frame. I'd tell them to overnight it, give me a crazy low interest rate, or cancel the account.

pretty sure HI is like AK and there is no such thing as true OVERNIGHT shipping. Always at least two days. Just got a FedEx two day package that took five days to get here

Re: Fraud Alert
Mrs. BB had one of my credit cards stolen and I never bothered to report it because the thief was spending less money than Mrs. BB.

Re: Fraud Alert
Couple days ago I noticed a 400 buck charge on visa from PerfectKETO. uh huh, we been talking a lot about the topic around here lately. Watched a few Youtube vids about and that's all. Never went to other sites or purchased anything. As if.
Filed a charge-back and got it immediately taken off.
I don't always look at the thing very closely but got lucky spotting that one

Re: Fraud Alert
You could’ve contacted PerfectKETO directly, so they could transfer your refund directly to your bank account, accidentally refunding $4,000 to your account, after which he begs you to send him $3,600 in gift cards so he can make it right before his boss finds out and he’ll be homeless with 12 children and one on the way and do you know what the weather is like outside in Delhi this time of year?cullenbryant wrote: ↑Tue Nov 02, 2021 10:30 am Couple days ago I noticed a 400 buck charge on visa from PerfectKETO. uh huh, we been talking a lot about the topic around here lately.

Re: Fraud Alert
probably is the angle. did look them up and it is a real company with real satisfied customers out there. but there's lots of bbb complaints with unauthorized charges being the main.
