I have a card I use once a month for gas. I used it once at this Dongar Mart on Dec 21stth. Ive had this card for years, and no issues with it whatsoever. When I swiped it, a message came up on the pump to see attendant. I give the card to the attendant and he swipes it -HIS- machine, and tells me it is declined, even though there is money in the account. Bank confirms, no issue with the card. The very next day, the number on the card was used in about 10 different places in Jefferson County and Indiana. They got us for about 500 in small charges before we caught it. So, the first time I use the card in 30 days, one the bank confirms no issues with, it gets scanned/declined inside the store, a day later small random, charges start to pile up. Coincidence?
