“I found that there were almost $1500 in charges on my card that I didn’t recognize”

“Dear PoPville,

Yesterday, upon attempting to pay my Chase credit card bill, I found that there were almost $1500 in charges on my card that I didn’t recognize: three square charges (two $500 charges and one $100 charge) to someone (or some company) called Kasiya Omotosho, an “in-person transaction” labeled “Bronx, NY” for another $100, and a $75 charge to a website called kuuya.com. Chase has since cancelled my card and they’re shipping me a new one, but I’ve only used the card twice in the last week: one was at my place of employment (where I swiped the card myself) and one of those times was this past Sunday at the Giant in Columbia Heights, similar to a story you published about a year ago. [Ed. Note: That incident was at the H Street, NE Giant.] Same as that story, I used cashier checkout and the card had a chip.

I contacted store customer service for the Columbia Heights Giant and they said they weren’t aware of any issues. Has anyone else had these issues recently? Thanks for your help!”
