Noticed these two charges today. These two charges do not belong. I do not live in Northbrook, Illinois, nor have I ever ordered anything from Campsaver.
Card is cancelled, which is kind of a pain, since I now have to update a couple of accounts that direct bill to it.
Bank isn't sure how card became compromised... they say it could even be something as simple as someone randomly entering info until they get lucky. Luckily I caught it before they racked the fucking thing right up, as I have quite a high limit.

Something like this happened to my girlfriend in 2014.

The only other issue I ever had, was a Farmer's Insurance billing to my chequing account a few years back, but that was actually the banks fault, as they had made a typo in the account number, thus billing it to my account instead of the right account. Like fuck I'm going to pay someone else's insurance premiums! The bank had the nerve to ask me how this could happen! I told them, "You tell me how this happened, since you were the ones that pinned his payments to my fucking account!"
It was then sorted out.

There are tons of ways they can get your info. Besides the random numbers, they have fake slots set up for when you insert your card your info is swiped. Also, the scary one, there are folks going around with RFID scanners, that when they walk by you, SWIPE, they got ya shit! Thats why there are now RFID blocking wallets, blocks the scanners.

Maybe it would be a difficult thing to pursue, since I'm in Canada and the scammer most likely lives in the US...

However, let's say I didn't notice it for a couple of weeks... Visa would have still withheld the payment, but at that point Campsaver may have already shipped the goods. In this case, it may be up to Campsaver to pursue this further, as it has now suffered a loss.
