Something similar happened to me on 06/02/2022. I received an attempted charge for $6.00 on my Navy Federal debit card. The charge was rejected because my debit card was in a Frozen status. The strange thing is that I have never used my NFCU debit card, ever. It's a relatively new card and I only keep it in a drawer. I wonder if NFCU had a data breach that they have not yet discovered or disclosed.

What is it?
Two fraudulent charges of $50.00 each ($100.00) hit my cc account last weekend. Immediately reported to cc company that is now "investigating" the matter. Called GTL *Inmate Phone Service and they won't tell me the "time" of the transaction (although I know the date 5/13), they won't tell me how the transaction was made (online, over phone, etc.), or to what prison/jail the transaction was in reference to, only that the monies were immediately put on some "inmate's books." GTL's Escalation Department states that they won't release this information unless I "file a police" report and they're subpoenaed. This sounds like a racket to me!
