During a discussion on The Bobby Bones Show, Amy shared that her credit card information had been stolen after noticing weird charges on her account.
Amy first suspected something was wrong after seeing three separate charges in one day from Lady Bird Taco, each totaling $16.90. She said that while she does eat there, the repeated charges stood out because she had not visited the restaurant that week. After noticing the charges, Amy looked at her transactions more closely and discovered a pattern dating back several months. She identified an earlier charge from January 3 at Frothy Monkey, followed by another charge at the same location on February 6. Amy noted that these smaller, familiar purchases initially went unnoticed because they blended in with her normal spending habits.
Amy said the charges appeared to be spread out intentionally, making them less noticeable. She also saw that all of the fraudulent transactions were placed online or over the phone, indicating that the person using her card did not have physical possession of it. Despite the pattern, others on the show questioned how the person using the card continued to choose the same locations Amy frequents, including Lady Bird Taco, Frothy Monkey, and Urban Market. Amy believes it was a coincidence, while Eddie and Lunchbox suggested alternative theories, including the possibility that someone she knew had access to the card. Amy also identified a charge from a location she had not visited, a place called Moto, which was significantly higher than the others at $58.67. Amy thinks this transaction stood out as a risk taken by the person using her card. The total amount of fraudulent charges was approximately $180 over three months.
Since noticing it, she has reported the fraud, canceled her card, and would be receiving a full refund through her bank’s fraud protection. While discussing how the theft may have occurred, Amy recalled a moment at a gas station where inserting and removing her card felt unusual, leading her to briefly suspect a card skimmer. However, others on the show questioned that theory, suggesting instead that the information may have been obtained through other means, such as a restaurant transaction.
