Credit Card Fraud - MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR STATEMENTS WHEN YOU RETURN HOME

[Flipadelphia26]

Rob, with all due respect. I am aware that CC Skimming and theft happens everywhere, and it is prevalent in the states. In this case, We were in Jamaica, and both of us had purchases from a computer store in Jamaica within 24 hours of our return home. The fraud was most definitely committed on the island, and by someone we had knowingly, but more than likely unknowingly, crossed paths with on the island.

How they were able to get our information? I do not know. Mike's card never left the safe and he had it hidden in an empty pack of vitamin C. Mine was in my wallet. This leads us to believe that it happened at the airport. Since this was the only time we both had our cards on our person at the same time.

I suspect that it was digital pick-pocketing. But obviously we have no way of knowing for sure. But smart phones or other devices can be made to skim CC information from people as long as they are in close enough proximity.

Rob, I appreciate your offer to help with G-Link. I wll let you know what the CC company says.
