AOPA VISA card fraud via XM Radio? NOT!
In a previous thread I reported that my brand new AOPA VISA card had a
fraudulent charge attempted against it. I suspected the thieves got the
information from XM Radio, since the only place I had used the new card
was to change my XM billing information. Well, that wasn't it.
When MBNA issued me a new card, they failed to cancel the on line
banking settings of the old account. All the thieves had to do was go
on line, enter my SS# and old PIN (which had been data mined from one of
my computers 3 weeks ago - another story), and be given the new account
#! They then changed the address and phone # for the new account and
charged some stuff.
My apologies to XM Radio for implicating them in my earlier post. It
was MBNA VISA's fault.
