Via past stolen charges and Kroger.Had several charges on my hubbies card that I had to just make a claim on and they were all Kroger but.............drum roll please......HE HAS NOT USED HIS CARD AT KROGER IN A VERY VERY VERY LONG TIME,That's just where the thief is shopping with fake cards probably made off a skimmer. I can tell you Im pretty sure its happening at the mobile at northpark and woodland hills gas tanks being this is the ONLY place hubby has used his card in months. So IMO its just not fair to hold Kroger responsible and boycott them just because that's where the thief decided to shop. They dang near emptied our whole account but wellsfargo is adding funds to cover it asap. 4951

Yup, just want people to understand just because thats where the charges are made doesnt mean the numbers are being ripped off there and to boycott them for something out of their controll doesnt seem fair. I check my account numerouse times. No way he was at the humble kroger while im on the phone with him across town....lol. he never ever uses his card there...i do but its a different card. 4951

We feel kroger should start asking for ID if that is where they are using it. My cards have my picture on it.
we also have several accounts, not leaving much in the one we use to shop. There is no getting another penny if we run it out.
We use it for entertainment, good and gas. When it's gone, the fun is over. Lol

At this point I am also blaming the Speedy Stop because when my DH's card got stolen and he got a new one the only place he used it was the Speedy Stop and it was stolen again.  I blame Kroger because they are not doing anything or don't care that all the stolen cards are being used in their stores.  People are using them for less than 100 one time after another until the credit card company shuts them off.  You would think by now they would have their cashiers on the lookout.  I haven't heard of any place else besides a vending machine to see if they are working.  Kroger and It's employees are a big part of the problem.  I'm sorry, I would be telling my employees and as soon as someone is declined the 2nd time they should be advising management so that maybe an end can be put to this.  But management in 2 different stores do not even care.  That is why I will no longer shop there.  My DH's 2nd card had a chip in it and they were still able to get it.  He only had it for a little over 2 weeks so it's not like they are holding the numbers forever.  I use the gas station also but I go inside everytime.  I do not swipe my card at the tank and knock on wood, I have not had an issue. 4951

@Burnsway:
 
I shop Kroger at least 4 times a week and most times I use my card. Haven't ever had an issue. I did have someone hack my Walmart account and order stuff. Had to get walmart to shut down my account and bank to issue new cards. But I have never been hacked by krogers. Thanks for the heads up for the Mobil I do shop there often. Will just stick with cash there 4951

Is there a common place (restaurant, pub, etc.) where everyone victimized has been lately? Is it worth a comparison, maybe? It has to be a local vendor since it is hitting this area hard and then used locally. 4951

My dh wants me to start going to the Woodlands or Conroe.
I don't want to drive around the Woodlands and back.
Closest store is kroger at 14 miles one way. 4951

@donnatella:
Seems to be a lot of us that used it at speedystop...the gas station at woodlandhills and northpark just before the charges are made elsewhere....seems the thieves are enjoying kroger specials. Glad they get to eat because I will have to wait 7 to 10 days to eat again....lol 4951

Most will not do anything, and the reason is they still get paid... I own a small window tint company and a customer used a fake card with me last march and I still get paid by the CC company. 4951

@Burnsway: I've been saying it's the speedy stop for weeks.  I make DH get out of the car if he needs gas or go with cash.  Still won't go to Kroger because dealing with 2 different managers in 2 different stores and neither cared at all.  I don't want to do business with a store like that.  I use speedy stop because it's close but won't be using Kroger.  Like I said, that is were all the shopping is being done.  If they were doing anything about it it wouldn't be going on since July.

@foxymama: Anyone and everyone.  It's ridiculous.  Us personally twice since July.  One night I was on here talking about it and someone asked if my DH had used his card at the Speedy Stop Mobil on the corner of Woodland Hills and North Park and as I went to look at his account someone was at Kroger's using his brand new card that was only alittle over 2 weeks old with a chip in it.  The chip is worthless and now I make him go inside all the time for gas.  No swiping at the pump anymore.

Sorry.  It was actually since the week before school started so that would be the end of Aug.  He is on this 3rd card now.  And yes, both times he had used his card at that gas station then got the fraud charges.  I originally thought the first one was stolen in Krogers because I had been in the one on WLH/Northpark on Sunday and someone was in the store shopping at 2 in the afternoon on Wednesday.  We were both at work, park in parking garages and are on video at work so I know it wasn't either of us.  The 2nd one we were on the phone with the bank when they were trying to use the card for a 2nd time but it got shut off.  They stay under 100 not to draw attention. 4951
