My husband talked to somebody at our bank and she said they were on heightened alert for any fraudulent activity and that they were not telling people to get new debit cards... yet. I still feel uneasy about all this, though, so I don’t know what to do.
It’s the manic buying season and I guess the banks are trying to be proactive. Don’t be surprised if they fail to honor your purchases at the checkout “just to be safe”.
