Last year 2 couples from our group of nine had their cards used about 6 weeks after they returned home. They both used their cards to pay at check out from the hotel and both used them at Phuket Duty Free, the cards never left their sight at all. I remember reading what Steven was saying that they are tapping into the phone lines now.

We never use a credit card overseas now, only the atms and have never had a problem.
