It sounded mysterious until your last line “I’m traveling” bingo.
your card got skimmed. On a plane, in airport, in a bus terminal, on a train. Anywhere, where it’s easy to spot a traveler. Someone walks by you (they only have to get within 3 feet) with a device in their pocket that pulls the numbers tight off the card. That is why RFID blocking’s wallets are so popular overseas.

This does not sound believable. So GS knows it’s you and don’t answer the phone? You are protected from fraudulent charges from MasterCard itself. Whether you have Goldman Sachs or Bob’s Mastercard. GS couldn’t screw you even if they wanted to. You fill out the form and they send it into Mastercard. Now I get that most top banks will reverse the charges immediately as part of customer service or perks or whatever. If GS doesn’t do this then yes I agree that sucks. But eventually they still submit the claim of fraud to MasterCard and MasterCard insurance reviews it and pays or rejects the claim.So I had a similar incident I posted on another thread. But Goldman Sachs did even worse. They say I'm responsible for fraudulent charges to some university in England $2600 AND they CLOSED my account. I call in and get no answers whatsoever.
