[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 230973, member: 1969"] Here's a few thoughts... Banks will credit back any charges not made by you, regardless of from which account/credit card from which it came. It will take longer if it was "real money" in a checking account, for example, but it can be done. Facebook is dangerous territory. If your wife uses any "apps" or plays any of the silly little games, that's probably where the fraud originally took place. It's very easy for some "hacker kid" to chop into passwords and get into account information to do things like play online gambling and the like. Facebook is fine, if you simply use it to talk to people and don't get sucked into clicking on things you ought not to. So there's that. Facebook doesn't really make money skimming anyone, they just aren't obligated to give a crap if some third-party software maker had awful security, but makes a popular game. People will like up like cattle to the financial slaughter if they hear about some "new game" at work via the water cooler. Suddenly, stuff like this happens. You're going about it the right way, PD, just tell your wife no more giving out the card info online (unless it's a reputable, major retailer) and protecting use of your card in public. That's really all you can do. Facebook isn't directly the problem, it's how people use it. 8) [/QUOTE]
