Thanks everyone,
Mikemac, will check into The atm card only. The card was “swiped” at the fax machine in the hotel center. Same company, same charge as the first card. The cards never left the son, and the center is a few hours away. I suppose a card was made using son’s ATM number? It must be happening to others in the city, but we cannot seem to find any other “links”. My best guess is still Denny’s, and meal plan place because they use credit card type receipts. The ATM is a B of A on campus, so while it is possible to be “phishing”, I don’t know how it is only happening to son. The University is small.I f it was happening to others, son or friends might have heard.
I gave up years ago switching banks from B of A. Seems like every bank we used was bought by BofA. While I use other banks and credit unions, the BofA really works best for the son. He gave me access when he took his cross country road trip a few years back. Fortunately, I didn’t need to use my access then. The local BofA branch is full of people that know me and have always corrected any banking errors in the past. Unfortunately, only fraud dept handles fraud.
Will hope for the best with this new card and will check activity frequently.
