chase credit cards and hacking ugh...

[dis2cruise]

I have 2 credit cards with chase one is rewards and the other freedom. Well about a month ago I received a phone call from chase and they asked me if I charged 12 different charges ($325.00) with usps to mail packages out with my Chase Rewards credit card I almost had a heart failure "NO" I said. Chase took those charges off and closed my account and gave me a new credit card.

Now yesterday...I received another call, yes another call from chase Not the rewards card this time but my freedom chase credit card. This person charged only 2 times one on Tuesday and one on yesterday. needless to say now my freedom card with chase is now closed and I will get a new one sent to my house soon. btw, the 2 charges were mail order..figures.

what the heck is going on, Is it just my great luck or is there a problem with chase maybe someone is hacking into their system getting credit card numbers?? Has anyone had this problem recently I just feel it to be really weird that less than a month ago I had another issue with chase and someone getting my number. I have an american express card too no problems here, ugh...

We had the same issue a month ago with our Chase (Disney) card. All our charges were for some cell phone through Google checkout. The charges were international so there were other charges added on because of that. In 20+ years of having credit cards this is the first time we've had an issue.

I had that happen with my Disney Visa about a month ago too. Luckily they called and asked if I had charged food and gas in Hollis, Queens. Um, no! The rep was very nice and went through all the recent charges, removed the ones I said were fraudulent, then closed the card and sent us new ones pretty quickly.

I'm not sure how the number got out. Amex was another company that was right on top of the fraudulent charges (I think that card was compromised by using it at the pump at the local gas station).
