I just recently had my debit card, name and address (both misspelled) jacked by some residents of grey-bar hotels in California. The Bubba's used my card to buy various personal items and junk food at online "quarterly package" shopping sites.

What a PITA! My bank did promptly credit the funds back on a tentative basis as they investigated the fraud claims, but it is scary nonetheless. I was in physical possession of the card the entire time so it was clearly an electronic hack job.

I reported the Bubba's to the shopping site companies and one of them was very apologetic and said they see quite a bit of this, and would report it right away to the warden of the institution. The other company didn't seem to give a damn.
