I noticed an unusual charge of around $2,000 on my credit card statement so I called the credit card company to dispute the charge. Then I noticed a package notice that the usps left for me that's from the same company. Turns out that someone got my credit card number and address, set up an account on paypal, and bought an item on ebay. I called paypal and it doesn't sound like the item is worth very much, so I am suspicious that the ebay store bay be complicit. I tried to contact the ebay store though the phone number on their website but have been unable to get through.
I looked through recent purchases with the card and there is a recent online purchase that may have resulted in my personal information being compromised.
So far I have talked with PayPal and they are investigating. I also canceled the credit card.
I'm generally pretty careful when it comes to electronic security, but now I am wondering if I should be doing more.
Any suggestions? Should I contact the store that may have compromised my personal information?
