Credit Card Scam

Just a heads up on a couple of suspicious activities we noticed on our credit card:

The first was on SWMBO's card and involved three Uber charges. We have never engaged and consequently paid for a Uber taxi so we were fairly confident it was unauthorised. It was less than $100 all up.

The second infringement on my card was more of an issue.

It was for the same amount of $82.40 on each of nine ocassions. It started back in May of this year. Yes, we should have been more dilligent in checking our credit account, but we wern't!! Each time it was billed under:

Sourcerunbill.com+12134780036 INCL Overseas Txn fee 2.40AUD.

Some more information here:

What is SOURCERUNBILL.COM+12134780036? | Scam Charge

Of course raising a dispute with the bank in this fashion results in the card getting cancelled and for many it won't be a good time for this. Might save us money in at least two ways.

I just had an experience with mine a week ago. My Son and DIL went to Melbourne for a concert and they borrowed my car to go (1/2 the fuel compared to their 4 x 4) with my Etag.
Day after they got back got a message from MyLynkt (?) (which is Transurban) which said auto toll not paid, so I thought ok, might take an extra day or 2 being interstate so ignored it.
3 days later, same again so followed the link to pay on line, gave details then got an error message "we prefer Commonwealth credit card" I then realised it was a scam so rang my bank and cancelled card.
That was last Thursday, got my new card today. Excellent service from my bank and no, never lost any money so the scammers now have a set of useless data

That Linkt one has been doing the rounds.

I got a message from them and our account is not in my name.
A few days later SWMBO got 2 messages, a couple of hours apart, from them from 2 different phone numbers.

When you check "reverse phone lookup" the numbers are listed as scam callers

Unfortunately we need to check transactions regularly. We recently had 2 fraudulent charges on our card, this is the second time I have had this happen. The worst part is we have no idea how the scammers got details so not sure what if anything we could do differently to avoid it again.

Recently I got 5, bet365 transactions on my credit card. Interestingly the CBA rang me and asked me if these were legitimate and cancelled the card immediately. Not often would I say the bank provided great service. Laughably one of mates said I should have waited to see if the bets won anything!!!! :roll:

Our bank, the ANZ, dealt with my query quite resonably (so far, the dispute still has to be reconciled), but I do question whether they should be more actively scanning for scams. I would have thought they would have a monitoring system that flags up the scams. I know from speaking to friends that even unusual activity can prompt a call from the bank to see if the cardholder authorised the payment.

We've had 2 smaller charges to our credit card over the past two weeks made by tedsgc.com and bkngnfnd.com. These charges are supposedly for memberships or subscriptions and it is fairly easy to have them reversed with an online chat, BUT if you don't notice them you've done your dough. Are they just another scam? Probably.
