My bank provided everything needed to steal my CC details

07-25-2007, 12:04 AM

I'm a careful person and shred documents which have more than my name and address on them... but I bet there are plenty of people that just throw them out in their household garbage.

My bank just sent me a new card and you can see the IMPRINT of the card details (including the expiry) on the front of the cover letter. In addition, the adhesive which holds the card also has an imprint of the rear, which clearly shows the CVV2 number.

Of course the cover letter also shows my full name and billing address.

Within less than 60 sec of viewing this piece of paper a thief would have everything they need to successfully complete a card not present transaction.

This isn't the first time this has happened. Someone at the bank needs to have a good look at what they send out.

i wouldnt sweat it, chances your bank or someone else that has your details is doing something else 100x worse.

Take for instance, my bank prints my visa debit card number on the back of checks i deposit. so anyone that gives me a check now has my card number on the back of the cancelled check

Yeah, I had the same issue when I had a Visa Debit, the card number is actually your account number so that's why it is done that way. Still, you need the expiry to be able to complete a basic transaction, plus the billing address and CVV2 number for a more careful processor...

na, my debit card number is totally seperate from my account number, and you can still do transactions without PIN/CVV2/address/etc by using the STAR network

Banks can sometimes amaze me with their stupidity. Several years ago I canceled a hosting account I had with a company. Each month they continued to bill me, but never for the same amount. It was always for between $45 and $85. The name they billed under was different than normal. The first month I assumed I bought something I didn't remember buying. The second month I knew something was wrong and went to the bank. When I told them I didn't authorize the charges they had me fill out a dispute form and eventually found in my favor and refunded the money. The third month it still was happening. With the banks help I find out who is doing the charges and I contact the host but they never get back to me (they have long since been out of business) The bank won't block the charges. When I ask them why they tell me, "you authorized them." I tell them I didn't and they actually said, "You must have because they are being charged to your account." WTF? So each month I filed a dispute and each moth they found for me and refunded the money, but never did stop the charges, eventually I just closed the account and switched banks.
