Well, I live in Australia, got a message in the early hours of this morning to say my credit card was suspended and to ring the number on back of the credit card.
I rang, spoke to bank, they confirmed several suspicious transactions had occured, of which I had no knowledge. All seem to have been within seconds of each other, on the same date 19th February 2015, so the card was cancelled.
Talked to the Banks Fraud Section next, gave details of my recent avtivity of which there was not much. However I had made two purchases on the same day, at two popular 3D stores. Whether these purchases are connected to this fraud I dont know. The matter is in the banks fraud section hand now for investigation, I will be refunded thankfully and get a new card that I have to wait for, that is an impositon these hacker thieves put you through, let alone the worry.
Hope not many were hit, it is my first time.
