Youngest Daughter just got married this past February in Mexico. Of course the wife and BOTH my girls had to have a spa day prior to the wedding to get hair, nails, and whatever else women deem necessary during these type of events. Anywho, about a month later we got a call from the CC company (citi) asking about the last few charges on the card. the most recent was at a wal-mart in Ky.
Through some investigation work, we figured someone from the spa stole the number and sold it. Friends wife had her card # lifted as well, and that was used at best buy in Ca.
I always use credit card when traveling. The protection from fraud is 2nd to none. If I used my bank card (debit) I would be on the hook for the 347.00 someone tried using at walmart.
