If a online thief gets a hold of your credit/debit card # online, do they have access to your DL# or SS#?
imagineworldwide asked:
I recently used my debit card to do a couple of online purchases, and suddenly there were 3 transactions worth over $1500 I didn’t make and I’m quite shaken up over it. My bank brought it to my attention and thankfully I was able to cancel my debit card and get re-issued a new one.

I have always been protective of my account and personal information and my online shopping has been quite sporadic. I’m at a loss at how this could have happened.
The question is now, is it possible that this is the end of my problem, or could these thieves have gained further information from me beyond my debit card number?

They probably do not have access right away, but it may make it a lot easier for them to get that info.

Depending on your debit card style, it may not include account details such as account number and sort code.
It would be very expensive and time consuming to acquire further information without these details and your address. But for now, if possible change your account details, ask them to open new account and transfer funds to avoid charges being made to the account linked to the old card.
Finally, for online shopping always use a credit card, the companies will always help you, its their money… debit card, they wont do jack for you (well a little), end of the day its your money and your responsibility.
