OT: BofA says someone has commited fraud against me

[four walling]

I was looking at my BofA statment online and noticed yesterday that one credit card had completely disappeared from the statement.

I made a mental note to check it again today.

Today a whole new credit card number appeared.

I called the BofA and they said fraud had been commited against me and a new card was on its way. The ONLY thing this card has been used for in the last 6 months is to pay my AT&T cellular bill.

I was pissed off at BofA for the way they treated a business that I had used last year, so I stopped using the card except to pay this one recurring bill to keep it active.

They will not tell me where the card was used and/or by whom.

Should I know this info?

I hate Hate HATE BofA…I just got a notice I owe money for a safe deposit box I closed last year on an account I closed last year as well.

The staff sucks, they don’t want to spend anytime to actually provide any service to fix problems so you MIGHT actually want to do more business with them.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it got sent to collections while I figure this all out.

I wouldn’t mind if the government let them or Merrill Lynch simply go away.

FWIW, we had the same thing happen to us with our Citibank card. One day, it was declined for no reason. When I called them up to ask why, they told me that there was a hold on my card because of some sort of fraud (someone tried to use it illegally???), and a new one was on the way.

They would never tell me who used it or where the fraud occured/came from so that we could take some precautions. Sounds like it’s S.O.P. not to divulge this info, but I don’t like it, either.
