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?

have you checked if your enbd card is saved in any browser autofill or a sketchy payment gateway that keeps your info? sometimes merchants store card details without you realizing, and a data breach at one of them leaks it. also, enbd's fraud detection might be weaker than other banks here - i've heard similar complaints about their cards getting hit while other bank cards stay clean. try asking them to issue a new card with a different number and cvv, and don't add it to any online accounts or wallets for a month. if it gets compromised again, it's likely a backend issue on enbd's side

honestly this sounds like your card details are getting skimmed at a specific merchant you use regularly. i'd think back to any place you pay with the enbd card that you don't use for your other cards. maybe try getting a new card number issued and only use it with apple pay or samsung pay for a month, see if that stops it. the no pin thing is normal for online transactions and some contactless setups, enbd just processes whatever comes through without that extra layer

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.

Dubai/Sharjah Road Scam?

I helped a guy stranded on the ring road, gave him a ride to Ras Al Khaima after he claimed to have lost his wallet. Turns out he was fine, just jumped out and vanished. Did I get played?

damn u basically did a free taxi run to rak. thing is they usually target cars with a single guy driving & look for dubai plates so u look like u got somewhere to be. best move is roll ur window down like two inches, say u already called the cops for them & keep moving, dont even unlock the door

yeah that's a known one on e311 & the sharjah ring road, usually they wave you down near the adnoc or before the rta cameras claiming wallet got lifted. classic play is they ask for a lift to the next emirate then bail once you slow down, sometimes a second guy on a bike is tracking you. next time just call 999 or drop them at the nearest police point, don't let anyone in your car off the highway ngl

The RAK route is the tell. No one genuinely stranded on the ring road needs to get all the way to Ras Al Khaimah, that's a 90 minute drive. These guys work in pairs and the second car picks them up after they hop out, usually somewhere past the Al Sajaa junction or near the ADNOC on E311. If it happens again, tell them you'll drive them to the nearest police station and watch how fast the story changes.
