Neighbor had his card stolen this last week. Thieves called his card company and ordered a replacement card to his own house, then picked it up and went to Sams Club a couple hours from here..... Also happened to grab his W2 that was in the mailbox that day... (now that's bad luck)
First purchase at Sam's $9000 Second purchase $2500
He asked how someone could buy stuff without ID, I said they had your credit 'card they probably got a new card with it....go to Sam's and ask for the picture..
Thats not kid stuff to try 9K from the get go... that's next level....
Told him they probably saw his card somewhere they worked and searched the internet for his address and targeted a rural address where they could pull up and steal his mail easily...
Normally when you get a replacement card they print your credit limit on the letter it’s stuck to. It’s scary how much information people can find by just having your name and town you live in.
This is the EXACT reason the debit card gets locked away. Aside from the points you miss out by using your debit card it’s best to have the credit cards money on the line instead of your own tied up during the “investigation”
