“Sub-25 cent transactions”
This is sorta new, isn’t it. The hackers seem to be doing what banks, etc. have been doing for decades - charge lots of people a little money. No real “victims” in a case like this. I would not consider myself terribly victimized if someone charged my card an amount so small that if I found it lying on the sidewalk I wouldn’t bother picking it up.
If I saw it on my bill, I would not bother bringing it up. They could probably ding me for months before I started really wondering what was going on, and then only out of curiosity.
How downright diabolical.
Pretty sneaky.
No those transactions are "tests" if they go through, then the fraudsters lay low or sell the card info with the "test" report to prove it's valid, and then POW the big charges come in later.
Don’t worry, that $.025 went straight into your new president’s election campaign.
Now he can say, hey, that’s not right, we need more control over these things as only the government can do.
I love my country but fear my government.
