Thankfully the card company was like "uhhhhhhhh... let's verify that first" and called me lol.

How the hell did that happen? >_> I always had the card on me and I've only used it on groceries and stuff

Something similar happened to me several days ago. Either my debit card or my PayPal account or both got compromised. And someone went on a shopping spree om ebay and spent over a thousand dollars. Was a massive pain in the ass dealing with it. But I got the money back

Even with the chip. As technology advances to improve security, unfortunately the criminals advance their technology almost right along with it.

I have bought stuff from Nintendo/Sony, and amazon. I rarely ever deviate from a major website if I'm buying something online

the PIN is only for using thr card physically at a store. Online purchases don't need a PIN. They just need to know my card number and my name and address

Real talk, why the fuck do people buy so many shoes? I went to get a patient from some guy's apartment in section 8 housing and literally had 70+ boxes of Nikes covering an entire wall. Why throw so much money away on that? >_> He could probably move out if he didn't buy so many shoes...

Not all cards require it in the US. My Mastercard does, my Discover does not.

Man sorry to hear about that. I had my card skimmed a few years ago before Christmas and the jerk went on a shopping spree. Thankfully the company notified me and nulled those charges.

Most likely places you got skimmed was either a store card reader or when paying for gas at the pump if you do.

A few years ago someone stole my grandparents credit card and tried to buy several thousand dollars worth of hand towels at bed bath and beyond. Like why?

Was it a credit card or debit?
