There are two charges from Walmart with description &#8220;Debit Card Purchase &#8211; Walmart Grocery 8009666546 AR&#8221;. Obviously, these transactions were unauthorized because I&#8217;ve never shopped for groceries at Walmart and I put this card away for nearly 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Someone might have stolen the card info when I used it a long time ago and now started spending my money. He bought groceries from Walmart so he could pick up and avoid revealing his address. I looked up for ways to dispute these transactions and Capital One actually makes it quite easy on its Online Banking page. I just went to my checking account, click on the fraudulent transaction to expand it and click on &#8220;Report a Problem&#8221; to start a dispute process. Capital One will ask you to confirm you didn&#8217;t make this purchase, it is not made by other authorized account users, and not a subscription or recurring transaction.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/capital-one-dispute-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/capital-one-dispute-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16877\" width=\"557\" height=\"649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/capital-one-dispute-3.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/capital-one-dispute-3-258x300.jpg 258w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 557px) 100vw, 557px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/capital-one-dispute-4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/capital-one-dispute-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-16876\" width=\"518\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/capital-one-dispute-4.jpg 660w, https:\/\/www.techwalls.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/capital-one-dispute-4-285x300.jpg 285w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 518px) 100vw, 518px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>After following the instructions, the system automatically disabled my current debit card and mail me a new one. In the meantime, it  told me the dispute process had started and I could expect a response within 10 business days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few hours later, I received their first system-generated email:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>We&#8217;re working on the claim you filed for your account ending in **** on *\/**\/2021 for&nbsp;$***.00.&nbsp;Your&nbsp;claim number is **********&nbsp;and we&#8217;ll be in touch when our review is finished.&nbsp;If you have any questions, give us a call at 1-866-536-9023. We&#8217;re here 7 days a week from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. ET<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Then they sent another mail after about 10 hours saying they sent me temporary credit:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><em>We&#8217;re investigating your disputed transaction(s). In the meantime, we deposited a temporary credit into your account on **\/**\/2021, for $***.00. This money is immediately available, but may be removed as a result of our investigation.<\/em><\/p><p><em>We&#8217;ll also reimburse you for any related interest, finance charges and\/or fees within one business day.

Capital One said that their customers are never held responsible for unauthorized charges with $0 fraud liability, therefore, I am quite confident they could detect the fraud. I will update this post once I receive more responses from the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Update 1<\/strong>: It&#8217;s been 5 weeks and I&#8217;m still waiting for Capital One&#8217;s final decision. The credits I received are just temporary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Update 2<\/strong>: Finally the dispute has been resolved nearly 2 months later. I received their email saying &#8220;Good news! We finished investigating your dispute(s). Any temporary credits we deposited in your account are now permanent, and your dispute has been resolved.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just a few days ago, I logged in to my Capital One 360 Checking Account and was terrified when seeing some strange transactions there.
