I hope you immediately blocked your card and applied for another. Mine got cloned on most likely a gasoline pump two weeks ago. The Visa lady called me within an hour or so of the attempted use of my number. Several large charges wee denied at Wal Mart. I blocked the card right then and am still waiting for the replacement but nobody is running up my charges. I figured it was a gas pump because the gas pumps only have magnetic strips reader and at WM if your card has a chip the machine won’t read chips. The bad charges were denied so I think they only had the strip info. I went back to the gas station which I had only stopped at that once and checked the seals on the pumps. All of them were broken so I suspect the skimmer(s) are an inside job involving an employee. I should have checked the seals when I stopped for gas.
I'm wondering if you use any apps on the phone like Outlook, Facebook Messenger, etc...on my phone, unless I disable it, text messages go to my outlook account, as well as the normal sms...and who knows how secure that is or isn't.
Other than that, it looks like somebody is behind your lines and feasting on your supply trains. If you can think of it, freeze it and change the password, etc.
Good Luck!

Did you return any odd group texts or call me immediately voice mail calls and return them in the past few months ?
call the miami police department. they *may* look in to it further. While they won’t tell you where you live (the damn credit card company that won’t tell you the address) cops tend to be able to get that information.
Yes, that card company is hiding the theifs info from YOU.
cancel that card.
I locked my credit files on all three of the major credit reporting agencies and I don’t have to worry about identity theft.
I don’t use debt to finance my life so it’s not like I was going to use credit anyway.
Just checked my Citi card and there was a $59 online charge to some night club in Santa Ana at 2:30 a.m. the night before They were on it right away, cancelled that account and are sending me a new card. I set all my cards to alert me immediately when any charge over one cent is made.
Good luck.
Unless you need to make any financed purchases in the near future, call all 3 credit bureaus and put a freeze on your credit. this will still allow you to use your existing credit but will prevent any new credit from being issued in your name.
Tell your credit card carriers you want to set up the highest security. We have really wacky security codes on our credit cards. If either one of us calls on our credit cards they have to ask for the code, they absolutely will not proceed with anything without the code. When I travel out of state I call the credit card company first to tell them the dates of travel, what state they can expect to see charges, etc. They always call to verify the out of state charges even though they were informed ahead of time. Sure it's a bit of a hassle but a lot better than ID theft.
