Discover's Fraud Unit Sucks!!!
We have been with Discover for nearly 40 years, but today was a horrible experience. We were notified by Ticketmaster that their massive data breach resulted in our credit card information being for sale on the dark web. I immediately phoned Discover's "fraud" department with the intention to have our credit card number changed. I was told by a very poorly trained "fraud specialist" that since there has been no fraud yet, I only need to call the credit bureaus! WHAT??? That was the worst advice I could have received from a "fraud specialist!" Someone should advise a customer to call the credit bureaus when their Discover card number is being sold on the dark web? That's just NUTS! She refused to issue a new card number for us, so I called back and got a different person who immediately shut down our old number and issued a new number. Easy fix to ease our minds about our credit card number potentially being used for fraudulent purposes. However, we do now have SERIOUS concerns about continuing a business relationship with Discover.
