Stolen card information
 

I just found out that one of my credit cards has been fraudulently
used. I was trying to find if there were any groups that might have
information on credit card theft. Like a consumer group or the like.
I haven't found a group related to this so far, but thought someone
here might know of something.
The type of information I would be looking for is postings from other
people who have had fraudulent activity on their credit card, so that
I/we could possibly correlate where the people got the information on
our cards. This was a Visa card and the first fraudulent charge was
made to a Home Depot in Michigan, followed by 2 today in Spain.

Wish you luck on hunting down the leak.

I have seen several, news releases of auditing and financial
companies, gas stations, home depot, colledges, staples, banks loosing
data. Those are just the ones we know about.

The state of Ohio in the USA is in the process of recalling cds passed
out with Social Security, address, names, phone numbers.
