[QUOTE="Whiskeyman, post: 180787, member: 13556"] The police officer who had my case stated that they were easily hacked and stolen. At the time, BB employees had access to my credit card information, including my social security number, which was an alternate way of charging to my account. By entering the correct SSN, they could purchase items on my account, [I]without showing ID.[/I] There were three transactions on my account in the same store, at three different registers, within twenty seconds one day; all were fraudulent. Bottom line is that it was too easy for the crooks to get my number from the account, and too easy to use it once they got it. Even though they caught the people who did it, the issuing company still made it very difficult for me. Now, I won't have a credit card with an issuer that will allow a transaction based upon using my SSN. (Yes, I don't have many cards, anymore.) WM [/QUOTE]
