Credit Card Fraud (Part II)

When I arrived in KL yesterday morning, I received another call from my credit card company. Unfortunately for me, another internet transaction was done via my credit card again. I was furious as they had told me the card was already blocked from further online purchases. Their excuse was, I quote "They did it another way". Yeah, right! As if I am so dumb about banking issues. Hellooooo....I was a former bankerlah. I know how things work behind the scene and the fact is they did not do a good job blocking my card from internet access.

This time, they will replace my card with a new one. This means I totally cannot use the card until I received the new one. Thank Goodness, I had another card with me. Else, traveling without a credit card is such inconvenience. Morale of the story : Do not rely on one credit card only. Ideally, have one Visa and one Master.

For me I have 3 different banks credit cards but mainly used one only. The others are for backup purposes.

So far have not experienced any fraud cases on my cards.

Angeleyes - Nolah, it's Ambank! Maybank one I terminate long ago as the service sucks!
