<prompt> Human: This is just a weird situation and I wanted to see if people have heard of this happening before:Today I got a text and email alert from my credit card company that a suspicious charge was made on my card in Brazil I do not live in Brazil at a hair salon, for 18.81I called my credit card company, I canceled the card, they told me a new one was coming. This has never happened to me before, Im 24 and Ive only ever had one credit card. Feeling a little shaken up, I texted my girlfriend to tell her what happened ... and she told me the exact same thing just happened to her!!Same fraud alert, same charge for 18.81 at a hair salon, same everything. So now Im sort of freaked out ... my gf and I live together, so we split a lot of costs. Was there a skimmer somewhere we shopped recently? Is the 18.81 charge some kind of test? Should I be scared that any other information is compromised or should I just forget about this now that its dealt with? Help!  <response>: could be skimmer, could also be a data breach with a company that had your CC on file. You should look back at your CC history with your GF and try to find out if there are other chargers that you dont recognise. If there are then contact your CC company and tell them you have found more fraudulent charges. If not then just change both cards and keep an eye out if this happens again.
