In Reply to: CREDIT CARD FRAUD posted by ANITABEL on Friday, 28. July 2006 at 03:40 Bali Time:
I have had two letters from Citibank this week advising that our card could have been used for a "compromised" transaction. When I called they asked if we had been out of Australia - we had Bali this year and Malaysia last year. Oh she says "malaysia" then puts me on hold. NOTE that this credit card was cancelled in March this year as we changed banks. I advised her of this and couldnt really get a straight answer out of her. Because the account is closed it obviously doesnt pose a problem. From what I can gather perhaps someone in Malaysia has tried to use the card - that was from a holiday over 12 months ago. Anyway it was all very strange and has made me quite wary. We did ring ANZ this trip and told them of the dates we would be in Bali to cover us if the card is used in indonesia outside of these dates.
