My debit card # was stolen/hacked/copied. Ask me how I know?

I woke up Friday morning to see purchases from this place. Unless I went on a crack binge that I'm not aware about, I don't think it was me spending money at this fine establishment.
There was also a charge from Google Crowdstar which is "premier mobile entertainment company for women".
And last but not least, a $57 Entergy bill pay. I sure as shite wish my bill was only $57.
Thankfully Chase is quick to get on it and I already have the purchases refunded along with a new debit card. I'm wondering if there is any action further I can take to get the person responsible. Somebody dumb/brazen enough to pay a bill on a stolen debit card deserves to be caught.

You were very very very lucky to get purchases reimbursed on a debit card.

Police report and refer them the account number on the energy bill paid.

Sadly, no one's doing shite about a few $50 purchases. Seems if they paid their energy bill it would be an easy bust but nah....

I am sure Chase can trace the entergy payment. Bunch of dumbasses

Should be easy to find, but they probably have the bill in one of their kids' names.

Who the hell still uses a debit card for everyday purchases?
Debit cards are for poor people or people who don't know how to manage credit.
Get an Amex Gold card or Platinum card if you want a charge card instead of a credit card

You hit the jackpot. Refer it to police to win your prize of one more thug in jail

I've had so many fraud charges on my Chase card, I will never use them again.

quote:Unless it's an absurd amount that they stole the police will laugh at you. Jackasses hit my debit card up a few years ago at a Dollar General in NOLA. They bought over $500 worth of giftcards. I called the Dollar General and they knew exactly who it was and said that they had video surveillance of the culprits and to notify authorities. I called NOPD and they wouldn't do a damn thing because it was only $500.
I'm wondering if there is any action further I can take to get the person responsible.

The sad thing is, the cops probably have all the info to track the perps down, especially with the Entergy bill. But nothing will ever happen. They've got bigger fish to fry.
Several years back, my wife and I were robbed at gunpoint. She was the treasurer of her sorority and had the sorority phone card(yeah this was a WHILE back).
A month later she gets the bill and it has 3 pages of long distance calls with the home number the calls originated from. I call the BR police department thinking we've got a slam dunk. And they have me fax them the pages but said nothing will come of it. I pretty much lost faith in the justice system at that time. As no one was shot or killed, they DGAF.

Smart move.

Nothing will happen to the person because of the amount. Whoever it is knows well enough to not take large sums. Unfortunately, people don't care enough nowadays. Specifically, the cops won't do anything, so the CC company doesn't bother pursuing it.
This person will now move onto buying someone else's card information.

My card # was stolen once. I lived in Bangkok at the time. It wasn't too hard to justify to my bank that it wasn't me spending $3000 on furniture in Tokyo around lunchtime when I had used the ATM in Bangkok that morning.

Don't use debit cards for every day purchases and sure as hell don't shop online with it. I only use my debit card for occasional ATM withdrawals. It's better to have your credit card compromised than bank account funds tied to your debit card. Also you are missing out on cash back/miles from cc rewards.

shite like this really makes me want to pay more attention to my checking account.
I would obviously notice big charges, but honestly it'd be hard to catch little charges here and there.

You can try getting the police involved. However, they might not look into it too much since you were reimbursed and the money taken wasn't devastating.
