Is it possible to use my credit card without actaully having my card?

I have been noticing for the past few months that unauthorized purchases on my credit card. The weird part is that the credit card never was lost or stolen. I always had the card in my possession. Also i have noticed that the transaction happened at the same gas station. Is it possible for someone to use my card at a gas station without being in posses ion of my card? Please help!|||Yes this is possible. See what happens is that in the past you may have used your card to buy online or at a gas station where hackers might place a little piece of equipment to steal your information. Unless you have another authorized user for your card then that could be another answer. I suggest you take this up with your bank if not you will keep seeing these transactions. I personally was a victim of fraud. Was taken $1000 out of my account. Another tip would be to never use your pin at a gas station or anywhere else. Always try to sign off for your transactions using the credit option. This way you don't provide them with your pin #.|||i dont think its possible..


sounds bad.. but maybe someone that you live with?


someone that can take the card.. go pump gas.. and put it right back..|||No.. not possible. Unless someone has a copy of your card.. did you give permission for someone to be a card holder? Does someone have your social and all your info? Someone could have called the card company and added themselves on as a card holder. You have to call your credit card company. A gas station would not let someone walk in and just say a credit card number and pump gas...


TRUST ME its not possible. Dont listen to the people below me who are giving me thumbs down. you CANNOT walk into a gas station and say here is a credit card number, LOOk I even have security numbers from the back! they wont just enter it and allow you to pump gas. the two guys below me are morons. Someone probably did take your card like the person above me said. again NO way could someone use your card without having a copy at a gas station. Online, YES they could obviously with just the numbers.|||Yes. As long as the have the right info: card number, expiration date, validation code (3 digits on back of card). Call your card company immediately and cancel the card. It seems someone has stolen the info, even though the card in still in your possession. Someone may have swiped it thru a card reader and pulled off the data. Or some unscrupulous employee copied the data when you made a legit purchase. Have your card provider give you a new card. (I would only make sure someone - a child or spouse - hasn't snuck out with your card).
