Thanks for the heads up. I'm real cautious about my cards.

Well I found the property search for that county, but can't get the address to search. Looks like there's multiple names for that road.
Sampson County
Maybe someone else will have better luck

Considering that your card didn't immediately got locked shows that it's not being monitored by the company. My card, if something is suspicious, I don't know how they do it, the card locks automatically and it will require you to verify a certain charge before it proceeds to process it and unlock your card.

My wife's credit card company did call when her number got used - in Atlanta and again in New Mexico somewhere. They ate the Georgia charge and stopped the NM charge, but they did call. They only asked if she made charges for those amounts in those locations and then directed her to her local CR to replace her card with a new one. Annoying but fixed without loss.

Most cards can give you an email, or text notification if your card is used. Then you'll know immediately.

Good info, will be sure to keep a close eye on any claimed charges.

Seems to be a lot of questions there. They also have my correct address! If I had to guess it was probably through an online order for something?

One of the parts of this ordeal that frustrates me most is we have a delivery address;
201 Luke Hobbs Farm Rd
Newton Grove, NC 28366-8027
I would like for the police or somebody to deliver the package that these folks so richly deserve.....

We had a fraud issue last Christmas with hartatac orders and FLIR thermal scopes. We noticed a pattern in the orders and haven't had an issue in nearly a year.

Then someone buys two Eotech reflex sights and ships to an address in FL. It's an odd name, yahoo email address, using AMEX. Any large order with a yahoo email and AMEX is a huge fraud flag for us. I googled the address and it's a tiny house in an industrial area. I left a message for the cyber crimes unit at the local police department where that address was to attempt to nail the jerk. They never called back. I wanted to send an empty box and provide tracking to nail them when they picked it up.

Credit card fraud is unfortunately deemed to be a low-priority crime it seems.

Thanks for the heads-up!

On another front, it is worth knowing that if you go to the Indiana Attorney General's website there are links where you can set up locks on your credit reports for free. This helps prevent identity thieves from being able to open new accounts in your name.

I had a couple of incidents about a year ago with fraudsters sniffing my card number (I'm on my third one in the last year) but I keep a pretty close watch on it and catch them when they're still under $1. I NEVER give anything potentially useful to someone who calls me; if the company needs to talk to me, they can do it when I call THEM. I don't use a number from an email; I look it up on their real site. That way I know I'm talking to someone legitimate. It's not that hard to protect yourself if you think these things through; you just have to be cautious to the point of paranoia.
