This happened to me with Citibank. But, I called citibank and got a new card number. Then, citibank gave the new card number to the fraudsters when they tried to charge me the next month.

Unfortunately, I’m going through a divorce right now so I can’t cancel that credit card. But, as soon as I’m free that’s on the top of my list of things to do to start living the rest of my life.

Citibank probably didn’t give them the new card number. There’s a link somewhere between stripe and Citibank that is tied to your account and not the specific card

Citibank did. The major banks all participate in Visa, Mastercard, and Amex’s updater programs.

It’s Citi’s fault for not flagging the change being for fraud reasons, which skips the updaters.
