  Yeah they’re all from the sams bank.

    Not likely but could be that the bank is compromised. Not that it makes much difference, but is it a major bank? Do you have cards from other banks that don’t get stolen regularly? Do you use a specific local atm regularly? Always tug of the card scanners at ATMs and gas pumps to ensure a skimmer isn’t being used. If there is a skimmer you will likely be able to pull it off or it will wiggle in a strange way, letting you know it’s not “stock”

    Could you try and set up a test account in different bank and check whether the problems spread onto the new card too?

      I have a credit card too, but I don’t use it as much. It’s from a credit union, not my bank. I don’t remember it ever getting stolen.

        I think we may be on the correct track, sir. I’d encourage you to try out different bank, if it’s not much of a hassle.

        There’s an additional possible test - you may want to ask people that you and your wife know about, who have cards in the same bank, whether they’ve ever found some puzzling stuff about their financial history there.

  I’ve read about some banks actually abusing their own clients and meddling with their money…

  Might also be an employee there making a few bucks on the side…

    Might be, but then it’s criminal case, pretty much…
