Someone Tried To Order Online With My Kohl's Card

I have had my card used even though I hadn't lost my card. I rarely shop online so I don't think that is the only way they can get the number. Mastercard didn't let it go through but they canceled my card and I had to wait for a new one to come.

Was the letter real, even though the phone numbers were different?

Thankfully I have never had that happen. I'm glad their order didn't go through.

Have you discovered if your card has been used by someone else? If this is the case ask Kohl to void your current card and issue a new one.

I had that happen to me recently at a company I order online from on a frequent basis. I had noticed a charge on my account statement that seemed suspicious. I immediately went to my bank, and they immediately called the company. It turns out that we had called them just in time, as the fraudulent order was about to ship out. My first thought was to tell them to cancel the order since it was fraudulent, but the quick-thinking bank employee asked the company to contact the police, explain to them what was going on, and have them waiting at the address where the fraudulent order was to be shipped. The company then shipped the order, and then when it arrived the police arrested the people who accepted the order. It turns out they were part of a local crime ring, and the police found thousands of dollars of other merchandise in their house as well. Thankfully, I got everything straightened out, and changed all the passwords to my online accounts, and the police busted an internet crime ring!

I'm glad it was stopped in time. I never had any issues ordering online. I do it less than often, like when I can't find an item in the store.

good job the company were sharp enough to realize it was an issue - happened to me and my step-father once with two independent bank cards from seperate banks - we found out someone was going through the bins - we used a shredder ever after though I still need one for my new place

hmmnn.. suspicious indeed .. I'm not experienced buying online ..

I'm glad that they were on the ball and caught the potential fraud, but why didn't the numbers match?

A friend of mine had her credit card used by someone else. They got the card number when she used the gas pump. If she had gone inside to pay for her gas using her credit card, they would not have been able to get her number. But since she paid at the pump, they got it somehow. I don't know how it works but I do know that it was such a hassle for her. They were overseas on a cruise trying to use her card.

wow!that is not good there.Glad that you got this solved.

Thank goodness they spotted it before that person got away with theft. I have been lucky so far touch wood although just once the bank contacted me to ask if I had made a withdrawel at 3am one morning but my account did not show anything I suspect the bank already dealt with it.

Like you, l have been buying things online for 20 years and it`S mostly good experience, but after reading this, maybe i need to be more careful. Stay safe.

I don't usually order online but I wonder how Kohles knew it wasn't an order from you.

It is really good that the fraud control department caught it, I think you can be grateful for that.

I never had that issue, but I don't have own a credit card though. That's terrible. At least it was stopped.

That is worrying. We had someone in England try to access our Visacard once but luckily the bank rejected it and checked with us.

I have never had an issue BUT I did order something on eBay and I never got it so I reported that to eBay and I got all my money back.

I always let my son order online as he will get some privileges. I prefer buying in the shop what I want.

Good you were alert.
