<p>Wherever you've been eating out, stop going and warn everyone you know and alert the bank and home office if it's a chain restaurant. That's the most likely place to loose sight of the card.</p>

once again cloned. As a routine I usually check my bank(s) online at<br>
night and again in the morning. Last night all was good, this morning I<br>
found that I had bought several Crackberrys and a lot of sportswear as<br>
well as a surfboard. After spending about 6 hours trying to make sense<br>
of it all, all but one company had held the orders as possible fraud.<br>
These orders were done online and a few were well known named big box or<br>
large shopping centre companies. The big named companies confirmed that<br>
all credit info matched including the security code on the back of the<br>
card. They also traced the orders back to an IP coming through NYC via<br>
Roadrunner's Broadband Service. Ok my questions:<br>
<br>
1. The number on the back of the card usually a 3 digit number, is that<br>
on the magnetic strip?<br>
2. Even with IP and MAC masquerading, is it possible to actually trace<br>
it down to the perp?<br>
3. Is there also a way to find where the card info was scanned?<br>
<br>
Since this is my second time as a victim in less than a year, I would<br>
really like to pursue it as far as I can go. Local PD just writes it<br>
off, but if I could give them something solid, maybe they might act. I<br>
have my suspicions, but posting them would probably make me look racist,<br>
which I wasn't, but.... Also in all cases the same name was used address<br>
and phone # for delivery. When I google the name (Joanne Salter) I found<br>
one person who lives in Great Britain and is a movie production hair<br>
stylist, and another on in West Fargo, ND. The address used is in Ulem,<br>
MN and the phone number traced as an unlisted number somewhere in IN.<br>
