They have a number for reporting lost or stolen credit cards. Should I call that number?

Yes. You have a moral and probably legal responsibility to report it as soon as you become aware of a fraudulent transaction.

The card companies should probably say something about transactions you didn't make as well as lost or stolen cards. I think there must be a lot of card forging going on, but of course you only need the numbers to do an online transaction.

We had a forged check that passed our account early this year. Had someone else's name, address and signature on it, but our account number.

All sorts of scams out there.


Good luck.
