RE: PAYPAL security, hundred or thausend of buyers under cc fraud

["Todd Towles" <toddtowles () brookshires com>]

Very true. Then the banks are allowed to contact you and tell you if
your card was exposed, but they don't have to tell you. I called my bank
shortly after the CardSystems issue and they told me that they had a
list of the cards that were exposed and they were watching them.
Umm..sorry that isn't good enough for me. You know the cards that were
stolen and you are going to watch them? I know what I buy...would I not
be in a better position to judge that type of stuff.

Some banks, let their customers now and even reissued cards to
them...while other banks just sit in the list and didn't want to rock
the boat....at what cost? That I can get charged 24.99 for months and
never know about it.

Seems like this stuff needs to change...
