Travel Card Identity Theft

This is an old story on Defense Link...however, I post it here since we are all affected.

"'Information regarding travel card program accounts for individual card holders has been lost, and it is possible that that information has been compromised, though we don't believe that that is the case,' said Teresa McKay, the Defense Department's deputy chief financial officer."

"Bank of America has set up a hotline for those affected. The number is (800) 493-8444. Cardholders who notice irregularities in their accounts should call the Bank of America at the 800 number printed on the back of their cards, McKay said. "If you are an affected cardholder, you may contact Bank of America for information on obtaining a free credit report," she added."

It is a good idea to check your billing records and remain vigilant.  Don't wait for the monthly GTC stats to show up at the wing staff meeting...the data is already 60-90 days old and by that time you could be in a real bind...particularly if you are moving.
