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.

not really simple in NJ where you have gas station attendants and my cursory research indicates some of these skimmers are inside the panel and not very visible.

anyways, just heads up everyone who uses their cards at gas stations.

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.

Get out of the car and swipe it yourself. Problem solved.


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

which ones

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.
