I'm pretty sure my card got scanned at a gas station - the only strange place I had used it prior to the incident.

I just use my Electron card at my bank's ATM and at local shops now.
I think thats where I got hit, I just had the equivalent of $1700 cleaned out of my bank account before the bank blocked my card due to suspicious activity. I am glad they did otherwise I dread to think how much they would have swiped from me. It was embarressing when I went to pay for something with my card and it was declined though lol.

Not Epassporte btw.
