fraud

da: A smiling human with short hair, head tilted a bit to the right. It's black and white with a neutral background. You can't tell if the white in the hair is due to lighting, or maybe it's white hair! (Default)
Guess it had to happen eventually. Seems someone snarfed my (PC Financial) credit-card number, apparently just a few days ago.

I got a call last night from their fraud dep't, called them back just now, and we came up with 5 things I didn't authorize. Four were test-transactions of $1, and one was some sort of internet purchase for $38 (ccbill.com).

For a while I thought there was another, a flight on usair, till I realized that I did actually buy that plane ticket a week ago. (in contrast with the /other/ ticket I bought more recently).

Now I'm gonna be suspicious about all of the places I use this card at. (local gas station; grocery store...)

Grump. Grump. What a time-waster. And whoever did it, didn't even do it competently enough to make it really worth their time either; $45 fraud isn't much to speak of.
