Chase Bank compromised? Important read for Chase Debit Card holders

I tried making two Debit Card transactions today. The first was over the phone and I just thought the person I spoke with was doing something wrong when he said the card came up as invalid.

The second time was at a supermarket, and it was declined, even though I got paid yesterday. So I knew something was wrong.

I called Chase and was told that there were two attempted charges, neither of which were allowed by them, that were made in France against my account. One for about $15 in 'Bazaar Shop' and another for $646 with 'MDA Distributions' for electronics. As these were obviously fraud, I had them cancel my card, which will be an inconvenience until the new one comes through.

I then paid attention to a charge that appeared as Pending, yesterday afternoon. It was with Avon Online for $11.63. My wife sometimes uses my card, and this hadn't seemed an unlikely charge for her to make, even if she'd never bought anything from them before and usually tells me when she's going to use my card.

The woman I spoke with at Avon with told me the amount of the charge before I could even say it.

In the last 3 days, she alone has taken several such calls and the amount is always the same. This is only happening on Chase Debit Cards.

So, all you Chase Card holders (I'd beware even if yours is a Credit Card), look online RIGHT NOW and see if you have this charge with Avon. If you do, contact Chase IMMEDIATELY and have your card canceled!


EDIT: A thought: Just because people are doing this with Avon doesn't mean they aren't making fraudulent charges against other companies also, at small enough amounts to raise little suspicion. If any small charge on your account looks suspicious, act quickly!

Wow after hearing something like that i definitely checked my account. It wouldn't suprise me that people go after small seemingly harmless amounts that people don't notice
