I just had my fourth debit card replaced in a year. None of them were physically stolen. Everytime it is from business databases getting hacked and my card number and info stolen.
And each time the thieves who end up with my info have actually made physical cards! And they use them everywhere they can that doesn't require the CVV number.
Last time I had a charge for over $400 in gasoline from Texas
It's getting worse everyday too.
They had some thieves here in Vegas putting a little scanner the size of a quarter right above where you slide your card on all the Red Box Video kiosks in town and stealing everyone's card info.
And I just bought a new wallet made of stainless steel fibers that blocks thieves from standing a few feet away from you in a store or restaurant or airport and scanning your card right inside your pocket or wallet.
