Surge in Yes bank fraduluent transactions?

[mj01]

There was an attempted fraudulent international transaction of $700-800 earlier this year on my Yes Marquee CC and the bank had promptly blocked the card.

They reissued a new one (very limited use post reissue) and today, several months later, I noticed an unauthorized international charge of around INR 1200 after the statement arrived. What's even more surprising is that international transactions have been disabled for quite some time so this charge going through does not make sense at all. There wasn't any alert when the supposed transaction happened either (~3 weeks back!).

Has anyone else faced this issue with Yes bank or is it just me? Maybe some internal database leak? I am considering closing my card account as it is not worth the hassle if it keeps happening again and again!

1 of the the main reason for me to close my yes bank cc. I was holding a yes bank cc issued back in 2018 and it was 1 of my main cards. During 2021 I had on 3 separate occasions faced fraudulent transaction at odd hours of different currency and amount and all the 3 times yes bank sent me a new card. Finally the 3rd time I cancelled my card and never applied for a new Yes cc.
Same story happened with my sbi elite card and surprisingly it was also during covid time of 2021 when it was 2nd wave. Had to close sbi elite card as well and decided not to apply any new card from Sbi. I do accept using Yes bank cc internationally but sbi elite was issued late 2019 and then there was covid.

The lady asked me to file an FIR for 1200 rupees 😂😕 I will pay the 1200 rupees in the worst case and close the card account.
