Scary

We had a bit of a scary moment today. I got a phone call this afternoon from our credit card company notifying us of unusual activity. It looks like our credit card number was stolen and used about a dozen times for online purchases today. Luckily, their monitoring service caught it right away and we were able to cancel the cards. They will reverse all the charges and new cards will arrive by Friday. Whew! I'm very thankful for the on-the-ball, extremely helpful customer service. However, with such great service it makes me question why they call once a month to try and sell us additional monitoring services!?!

P.S. In case you're wondering, this incident does not deter me in the least from using a credit card for real online purchases. :o)

This happened to us a couple months ago also!! We were thankful they caught it quickly also!! Crazy how people can get your numbers somehow!! Glad it's all taken care of.
