Credit Card Fraud

My son just received an SMS message (1 month later) that his CBA credit card was over it's limit ($2000), he thought that was strange as he hasn't used it for 2 years. Checked online via the app and it had 10 x $200 transactions on the one day from Apple Pty Ltd Sydney. He rang CBA and they are investigating.

Will update with how they did it, if we are able to find out from CBA.

My bank Westpac call me within minutes and advise of funny transactions (albeit after the fact).

  • Nice psa. Just a timely reminder for people to check their statements every now and then.

  • My bank never says they will be inveatigating.

    Might have to switch banks for this experience

    • do you never ever make a typo chumlee?? It is not cool to pick up others' mistakes… :/

      • Did you ever think that Chumlee also made a typo and YOU are the one pointing out others mistakes?

      • Just stirring.

    Turn on transaction notifications in the CBA app and you get a notification within seconds of a transaction.
