I had my first fraudulent charge a few weeks ago on my Ink Bold card. Someone was trying to buy Air Canada tickets.

How'd you know they have your other info too? That's what I would be worried about.

Got an email from Chase last week alerting me of 3 attempted charges for an escort service in the UK. I called and they cancelled my Sapphire and issued a new one.

Looking at my statement to see when and where somebody could have gotten hold of the card: The only charges I made during the last couple of month was during a trip to Belize, where I used it extensively due to no foreign transaction fees....go figure.....

CSP and INK both were skimmed in some way, fraud dept says could have also been an insecure site. Must have been AP :p
Fake cards dinged in Texas, and Illinois. Definitely a sell off scam, organized.

My sock drawer-ed Fidelity 1.5% Visa got dinged for $300 from Mercedes for their version of Onstar. Showed up on mint today, was charged two days ago. Called FIA who patched in MB, MB will issue a credit without much fuss. I had to prompt FIA that maybe we should shut the card down.

It had to be random error or most likely a database issue. I only have had the card since May, and hadn't used it since June.

I also got a fraud alert today. On my 1 year old, Presidental plus that I wanted to close for an Explorer. Well aside from the inconvience of timing, I did get what I wanted.

Have had two incidents in the past 2 months. Citi first called to say my card was compromised and they would need to close (no fraud charges were attempted), then just a couple days ago Chase called to verify an attempt that was indeed fraud. I use the Chase card occasionally but almost strictly for online purchases.

I had an issue with my Chase Sapphire card a few months ago for someone trying to buy stuff in a different state. Chase re-issued a new card and I no longer have the original thick and heavy card. :-(

That's the only card I've had an issue with in 10+ years.

You can still have the metal card if your heart is still yearning for your lost love. I was supplied with a replacement super-spazzle-dazzle-extra-special-metal card you are sure to be jealous of. You just have to ask chase for it. You have to mention it that way, you want to have back a super-spazzle-dazzle-extra-special-metal card.

wife got her first chase biz card =IB card, made purchases big and small and always paid off in full every week before due date. 2 days ago I tried her card and it didn't work.
called chase and transferred to fraud dept, refused to give me any info and kept asking me to give them call back number, i requested the manager few times and she than agreed to help it resolve on phone by verifying some info and the charges and it now works fine!
