Another attempt to ping me for a 17K purchase out of Florida USA - luckily stopped by the ANZ falcon algorithm. Only negative is the card is now suspended for all internet transactions until I get a new one - so NO EBAY - I am going to die. Up side is the card is dead and they failed. New number, just need to keep an eye on the card details and security better - somehow?? Its a DODGE Dealership in Florida where the transactions took place. 'Someone did a test debit of $15 they when that went thru they tried the 17K, but the system caught them. i have sent their operations manager an email to voice my disgust and suggest he checks his staff

Yep, just about everywhere should offer it these days.
Also, if you don't have a Paypal account, look into that as well, it saves you from having to give out your card details. Paypal is ridgey didge fair dinkum financial thing now.

Paypal may be 'the bees knees', however my paypal account was hacked and a very large shopping excursion took place at Harrods in London by a very russian sounding person. They hacked the account, then had the purchases redirected to an address in London. Paypal is not as secure as you might think!

Setup 2FA on your Paypal account. One of the advantages of Paypal is that it is huge, so they have the money & resources to fix things like hacks etc. I'm not a PP evangelist, I just use 'em.

Jesus Phil. Do you have scam me plastered over the interwebs somewhere? I have never been conned or scammed for money before and in the last 10 or so years never run any sort on anti virus programs on any of my devices. They are just a scam in them self...

I dunno how they are doing it or where they are getting my card from - like the latest was at a Dodge Dealership in Florida?? Anyway I have added the second stage verification as recommended, so maybe that's the last of it.
