Cancelled a credit card due to fraud and within about 12 hours of getting a new account number another damn California door dash order popped up as an authorized charge.

These scammers knew my new CC # before I did wtf

Agh I’m sorry! I remember reading about how sometimes if you give a company your credit card information for a recurring charge (like a monthly bill or subscription) and the card number changes, the company can get the updated number through your financial institution.

Just looked it up and I think it’s called Updater Services. No idea if something similar could’ve happened here, especially since it happened within 12 hours.

Good luck, I hope you get it sorted out!

Thank you. For all their faults, Wells Fargo has pretty good customer service for their credit card users. I'm going to do some googling but the update thing is definitely a possibility

I think it's probably because these charges cost them money in the long run. If it was your money, they probably wouldn't care as much.
