Three ENBD Credit Cards Stolen in Six Months

First, fraudulent Apple Pay transactions in USD; second, unauthorized purchases at a US Target store (after I limited card use to the UAE); and third, unauthorized Facebook transactions in the UAE. ENBD blocked the cards each time, but I'm baffled. My other cards are fine. Why is this happening with my ENBD cards? Why no PIN authorization for these transactions? I'm considering blocking online transactions on my next card unless I need to use them online. Any better solutions?

This is seriously concerning. Three compromises in six months points to something beyond simple card skimming. Have you checked your phone for malware? Any unusual app permissions granted lately? Also, ensure your ENBD app and online banking portals are only accessed via secure WiFi. Public WiFi is a HUGE risk. Consider contacting ENBD's fraud department directly, they might have insights into a broader pattern of attacks targeting their cardholders. Blocking online transactions is a good short-term measure, but ideally, you want to get to the root cause. It's not normal for this to happen repeatedly.

Children aggressively panhandling in my neighborhood

I was concerned for my children's safety and refused their request, even though it was a small amount. Their subsequent taunting was unacceptable. I'm wondering if this is a cultural practice, or something else. I plan on moving soon anyway.
