I just had my DBS credit card changed this month. Someone used my old card to buy stuff from an online company in US. I have never used my credit card to buy anything online before.

I suspect some insider selling cards data. This is already the second time. The first time, my DBS card was used in San Francisco, Bombay, California, New Delhi .... to pay for Uber travel on the same day. The bill came to about $1600++

why?? if debit card link to a bank account with limited fund, u know that is max damage if tio online hack/fraud, right ?
and keep the credit card for local purchase, use debit card for online purchase (online purchase is risker, so use debit as cut loss)

some eateries use QR code ordering system. I don’t feel comfortable when I’m asked to key in hp no. and credit card details to make payment
I will either walk away or go straight to the counter to place order and pay.

It's really unfortunate to hear about Lu Meilin's experience and how she ended up losing over $4,300 in a credit card scam. It's a stark reminder of the dangers of online scams and the importance of staying vigilant.
Scammers can be so sneaky, especially when they impersonate legitimate businesses. It's essential to be cautious when dealing with unfamiliar companies, especially those that ask for upfront payments or deposits without providing proper assurances.
I recently came across a reliable carpet cleaning company. They did an amazing job for me when I needed my carpets cleaned, and I was thoroughly satisfied with their service. If you're ever in need of professional carpet cleaning, you might want to check them out at
splendidcleaning.co.uk. They have a great reputation and offer top-notch service.

If done using credit card bank should be able to block transfer and get the money back
Unlike paynow and paylah
Using credit card it is not immediate and customers can dispute transactions
Right?
