Never heard of that. I can check.
We just got another fraud charge on a different card. And, interestingly, it was an attempt at the SAME entity as the first one. Specifically, Hilton.
The banks seem to be really good at detecting, because all fraudulent charges were flagged for us to review (we received email), and were declined. One of the charges was listed as "pending", but that was after the card had been canceled. It pretty quickly thereafter was showing "declined".
So, three of our cards from two different banks have been compromised. We are in physical possession of all three (i.e. not lost/stolen). Two of the charges were attempted at the Hilton, a couple of days apart on two different card numbers. One was brazen, attempting to order online from costco.com (traceable two ways...the delivery address, and the membership ID).
And none of this was on the card I use most commonly for online transactions. I requested a limit of $1000 on that card, won't let them increase it, and for anything under $1K, that's the card I use online. It's also my "Google Pay" card. Yet, it's not the one compromised.
Usually, we have to replace one card every two or three years because of a fraudulent charge. We've just had three cards in less than week. Very odd.
