IDK what a skimming device really is, but she said it's something these people can put in the machine you swipe your CC and trace your acct and card info. I keep wondering how the bank actually knew it had been "skimmed" or whatever?! Anyways, glad they did! |
They probably noticed weird activity. This is what happened when my credit card was stolen. I got a call that said, "Miss d'Eon we'd like to confirm your location." I said "I'm at home in Halifax, NS" "So you did swipe your card at sobeys" "Yes" "But did you just buy a bus pass in Montreal Quebec?" "No" "We are shutting down your card and will send you a brand new one"
It is possible that something weird like that triggered it, it is impossible to be in two places at once, and they confirmed that it was a swiped card not an online transaction, so it was obviously not me.
