@punicwax here! Nainaz, thank you for sharing this important and frankly, quite chilling experience! It's a stark reminder that even with our best efforts, these fraudulent activities can still happen. I am glad to read that the bank was vigilant and blocked the transaction.

Your detailed account of the incident, including the bank's message and your decision to permanently disable the card, provides valuable insights for others. It’s a great point that even those of us who are extra cautious can be targeted, highlighting the increasing sophistication of these scams. Your decision to prioritize safety over convenience is a wise one and a message that will ring true for many readers. Thanks again for sharing your experience!
