Citibank called us this weekend about the yearly credit card fraud. Somebody tried to buy a Volvo from a Florida dealer with our credit card number (we would never buy a major, depreciating asset with a credit card! What an insult.) My husband was astounded because this card has never been out of our sight. Apparently they are now using random number generators to produce card numbers.
The new card, of course, is not chip and pin even though Citibank does offer chip and pin cards since routinely issuing them might cost the bank an extra nickel per card.
