My vehicle requires diesel, and I do not trust anyone but myself to pull the correct hose from the pump. On my motorcycle, I don't trust anyone but myself to eyeball the fluid level in the tank. I also do my own transactions and no attendant has ever made it "not really simple" ... if anyone has a fraud suspicion, stop making excuses and solve the problem.

The first two instances occurred after I used the gas stations along route 3 in Secaucus. The latest one after I used it in a gas station in Mawah (Guess it's not exact local). They charged $1,500 at the Gucci store in Woodbury Commons and attempted to charge about $2,400 at BOTTEGA VENETA which ended up being declined , and triggering a fraud alert email to me.

and inspect the card slot for any attachments that might be skimmers.

my card was stolen from most likely bistro la source on a takeout phone order (the lady who took my order had a European accent). I used it for the first time there and a day later I had a multitude of charges from stores in Atlanta, GA.

I still order from there but only using seamless.

I am wondering has anyone recently had to deal with instances of credit number thefts after using it in the local area gas stations? I have had to deal with 4 in the last year it basically seems to occur a few days/ weeks after I use the cards for Gas. I have actually decided I am going to stop using the credit cards at gas stations, which is bummer since the bonus reward categories usually include gas stations.
