As previous commenters have said I think it is essentially brute-force number crunching and there's not much anyone can do except stop the cards and refund them. We never use our debit cards online though, only CCs. Might be worth looking into the prepay/low limit CCs for online shopping.dreamcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06512623516755804881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9885571.post-26178741533742636922009-10-05T21:03:31.422+00:002009-10-05T21:03:31.422+00:00Sorry to hear.

Someone had charged one or two $1 amounts and then helped themselves to $1200.00 in Macy's gift cards. The bank covered the false charges and sent us a new card, but I felt violated none-the-less.<br /><br />Macy's has sent me catalogues ever since.aniexmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11785812017979369559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9885571.post-29599273696907966362009-10-04T21:43:20.952+00:002009-10-04T21:43:20.952+00:00I have a friend this has happened to, and it was a...I have a friend this has happened to, and it was after his PC went away to be fixed, when it came back the trouble started.
