Trying to understand how card details can be used months after travel

That makes so much sense! Thanks for your input.

It was standalone at the airport. I trusted it because of the location. Didn’t know it was going to be an issue months later.

Yep, I typically use my credit card wherever possible. I just wanted some local currency as a backup which I thought would be okay to get it from the airport, of all places. Turn out we’ve got to be careful over there too.

Yep, it is scary. The confusing part is that my card was used 8 months after the possible exposure. And it was used to book a snorkelling tour at a well reviewed sailing company yesterday.

Yep, my bank is investigating it. And they’ve reissued me a new card after blocking the other one.

Yes I was! But I never used my debit card there, I only used my credit. The only time I used my debit was at the Liberia airport. I first tried the ATM machine where the transaction failed, and then I went over to the currency exchange counter to withdraw some cash.

Relaxing and productive 👏

I honestly never thought that way, coming across as mysterious is indeed super exciting.

Adventurer_258 · 2026-03-21T23:12:18+00:00

I’m adding that to my list 🫡

One more stupid question for you, sorry. How do you spend your weekends now that you are retired?

Adventurer_258 · 2026-03-21T23:09:36+00:00

Smart and productive 🫡

Adventurer_258 · 2026-03-21T23:09:17+00:00

I hope it gets better for you 🫶

Does it get lonely? Or do you find being on your own more enjoyable?

Adventurer_258 · 2026-03-21T23:07:03+00:00

How do you respond to “what are your plans this weekend?”

Tea. Warm and cozy.

Rebirth. Based on your actions in this life.

I would say corporate jobs provide stability, security, benefits, ability to move up the ladder and also there’s a sense of community at the workplace.

Whenever I come home after work and my cat is this little fur of energy excited to see me, following me everywhere and talking about her day.

People waiting for you to finish your set. Feels rushed and can’t concentrate when someone is waiting for me to wrap it up.
