Happened to me this year for the first time in about 15 trips to Bali/Asia. I had used the card to book accommodation in Bali but had booked from home. I only used card on two accommodation websites that I had used many times before so not sure what happened. The purchases were all recorded as Madrid not anywhere local. They ended up taking about $5000 before I realised and contacted the bank. Funny enough the bank has noted the transactions as suspicious but because they couldn't contact me they wrote me a letter. Still waiting on a full refund but it should be ok.
