I never even saw the charges. The bank was smart enough to know exactly what they were, and removed them this morning.

Yeah, I'm working on that. Our bank accounts seem fine. We have three accounts at two different banks, and six cards - two for each account. Nothing seems out of the norm.

They bank wouldn't tell us much more other than the FBI and San Diego. I'm guessing more than one card was cloned.

Not sure how it happened. The only thing my wife did this week out of the normal was purchased a t-shirt online. They seem legit.

Yeah, at this point it seems to be less of identity theft and more of a cloned card. Still gonna watch everything like a hawk.
