CC stolen and transactions worth 2.5L done on it

I was in Mumbai this weekend and I was having street food in Ghatkopar. I heard someone whispering but ignored. When I turned around I saw three people, 2 guys and 1 girl. I continued enjoying my food when I saw that the girl behind me had left and dropped some money. I walked up to her and told her about it. I bent down to pick it up when the other two guys bumped into me. I think they were cloning my card all this while, I will explain why I think that. I asked them if something was wrong and they said No and went away. I checked today morning and 16,731 were deducted at some weird merchant in USA. I was confused, so I instantly blocked all my cards. I have contacted the bank about this fraud as well. I am confused: I did not do any transaction on any website that looked shady nor did I give my details out to anyone. The only thing that explains this is that they cloned my credit card and this was their strategy. How to comfirm this? Please help.

Let it all out. Use this thread as an outlet.

First post :) Basically I want to figure out the best way to market a debit card for international spends. We're offering zero forex, unlike literally anyone else. Just need to make more people aware of this offering since it's a big selling point. What is your experience with DCs from an international spends POV? What can be done better there? Any hacks to get people talking about it? Open to ideas/thoughts/criticism/feedback!

I applied for two credit cards in the past month. Amex Platinum Travel & AU Ixigo. Amex was approved very fast and I even got the card very soon. On the other hand, AU Ixigo application got declined 💀💀 Any idea as to what extra checks or criteria these guys have? My cibil score is very good, have HDFC, ICICI and OneCard cc’s, pretty decent net salary as well. On another note: Please suggest a cc with 0% forex fee and lounge access…. That was my main reason to apply for the au ixigo card in the first place xD

Had a bank account of Kotak where it was inoperative from 1.5 years and NMC Charges went to 7900 INR. When I went to close the account they started insisting me to pay the charges. How do we deal this folks, coz at the time of taking account they said it is zero balance and then after salary stopped crediting they converted into a savings account with mostly generic alerts !!!! Looteri banks. 😏😒
