ETA: I made it back from my vacation from Panama on 10/24. I checked my account this morning for some reason because I never do and I found $300 in fraudulent charges. I canceled the card and my bank is gonna credit the charges back to my account. The fraud came from one of the restaurants I visited from the pictures below. They were pretty nice restaurants so I wasnt that worried. Restaurants were the only places where I used my card. I pretty much had cash for everything else. This is second time this has happened to me. It actually happened to me at a restaurant in Atlanta a few years ago. I'm seeing a pattern with restaurants doing this. I've learned my lesson...cash in restaurants from now on.

I went to Panama City, PANAMA not Panama City, Florida. Here are some food pics from restaurants we visited.

Risotto with prawns


Corvina topped with broccoli curry and jasmine rice


seafood pasta


fried corvina with creole sauce and plantains


seafood lasagna


queso over toast


Pic from the Panama Canal


I went to a coffee farm in Boquete, Panama

Good stuff but some of those dishes look real heavy. But you are on vacation, so screw it!

How do you make the differentiation between these two?

The exact reason I went to using only credit cards for purchases. Debit information stolen = hassle.

If you went to an ATM to get cash, your info could have been stolen from there. That's a lot more likely than the restaurant. It happened to me in Brazil because of a skimming device like this:





ATM Skimmers are placed on top of where you insert your card so it looks like part of the machine. Sometimes cameras are also placed in places that you wouldn't notice to capture your pin # when you input it. The device reads the info on your card when you put it in and sends it to a person wirelessly.

I now use those pre-paid credit cards when traveling abroad. I've had two CCs compromised from third world shitholes, so I moved to the 21st century equivalent of traveler's checks.
