Fraud!


Well, today on my way home from work I got a phone call saying there was some suspicious activity on our credit card. Come to find out somebody has stolen our number and charged thousands of dollars yesterday and today on our credit card. Never thought that would happen to us! (I guess that's what everybody thinks though!). All I can think about is those icky adds on tv with the old guy cleaning his pool, with this young girls voice, talking about buying new shoes or something. (If you hadn't seen those old fraud commercials then that made no sense.) I think we have everything figured out through our credit card company. Although I am sure now that they hire only people with IQ's under 10 to work those jobs. Maybe I just got a new guy.... I was feeling pretty repetitive though. Oh, and get this..... if you call the lost or stolen number on your statement..... it will tell you the transactions.... you get the opportunity to say if they are fraudulent or not... and then it says to call back tomorrow because their automated machine is off at 5. WHAT?! Note to self, always call the customer service line.
