fraud

[da]

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.

Now that's suspicious.

Guess which corner gas station I won't be using any more.

Huh.

What a pain. Sorry to hear about it.
