[US] Credit card fraud through Newegg?
Last night I got an automated fraud alert text from my bank asking if I had made a purchase of $.00 from Newegg Inc. I have a strong password on my account as well as MFA and saw no evidence of fraud in my bank account nor any emails about Newegg account access. I also haven't bought anything since last September-October when I was grabbing PC parts for W10's EOL.
What's the deal? Is this just the fraud protection being overzealous over one of those checks to make sure the card is still active? Obviously I plan on calling my bank once they're open tomorrow and checking my Newegg account, but I still wanted to ask here. Has anyone else experienced something like this?
