Damn...! My Amex principal and supp card got compromised.
Received 7 SMS notifications for unauthorised chargers amounting to USD220 this morning.
Alerted CS and they immediately cancelled my cards and reversed the charges.

I guess so. I was told on phone they will reverse the charges and send a new card to me.


All different, principal card kena 1 charge usd60 and supp card kena 6 charges ranging from usd10 to usd60. Got 1 charge was in euro.

My supp card was never used for online purchases yet the syndicate knows both cards details.

2 US based online shopping portal and FB (Europe) credit topup.

Ya, I was puzzled how my Amex supp card details can be leaked out to foreign syndicates.

I asked the CS how come Amex still didn't adopt the TAC security and the answer was coming soon.

Then u need high CL. A friend of mine paid his cyber jaya property 10% down payment with cc. Over rm100k in one swiped.

When did it happen ?
Same merchant ? FB credit ?

Mine was around 8am yesterday. Could be the same culprit.

In my personal card usage priority, I just demoted both these two to 2nd and 3rd choice for the first rm1k spending category. First priority given to 10% CB WISE card.
But the unlimited 5x TP is still the best.

Can't reply you here, Nanti Bro ronnie marah off topic.
You can refer to HLB Wise card thread. I think if you have A decent spending volume, dont talk about AF, GST also they waive for you.

Today ? Principal or supp card ?

I kena the same merchant too.

Already 3 persons reported in this thread this few days. Looks like a major data leakage.

Gee...! I seldom come to this thread and didn't realise that there were many fraud cases involving ""Karmaloop"". A search on Karmaloop in this thread found that at least 7 or 8 cases reported in this thread since Feb 2013

U r probably the 6th or 7th karmaloop victim in this tread. I wonder how this syndicate obtain Amex card member's details.
If Amex still not adopting SMS TAC security measure, the fraudulent online transactions will keep happening.

To reduce the risk, I would never use Amex for all online transactions which requires keying in credit card details.

It was to REDUCE THE RISK, not safe from the scam.
We have many reported Amex fraudulent online transactions in this thread and card members have no clue whatsoever how the CC details leaked out.
Avoid using Amex card for online transactions is the best card member can do to reduce risks albeit no full proof.
