Guess it's my turn. Phone call from credit card fraud dept., "Just verifying a $900 + vacation package internet charge on your account". "I don't know what you are talking about!" "That's why we are calling. We have stopped it, and have put a HOLD on your account." So now, since it was an internet charge, the account is on HOLD, and new cards, new account # have to be issued. Fortunately, they will send the cards to us in AZ, instead of sending to MI, Thank You! And then there are the people to contact. So we don't get paper bills that need forwarding, many monthly charges are automatic, cell phone, internet, insurance, satellite TV, medications.
As far as I am concerned, people who commit credit card fraud are as bad as the scumbags that prey on old people (ok, so maybe I fit that category too). Throw them in jail, throw away the keys, just leave bread & water! Gee, want to hear how I really feel? :-)

That really sucks! I couldn't agree with you more regarding identity and credit card theft! Leave them to rot in jail!
We'll be praying that all gets cleaned up with no messy residue. ;)
Hey, where was the vacation to???
Rofl!! Had the problem last year with one of my cards...course, I'm at a stable address so it wasn't too bad. Hope for the best for you!
Oh man! That stinks. We got a similar call right before Christmas, only it was our checking account! It is such a pain to have to change everything, but at least they caught it and hopefully it all be cleared up quickly.
I got the same type of call while I was in Denver the end of February. Fortunately, all the charges where charges I had made. It made me glad that the bank is tracking my charges. Those that they asked me about were small ones but you never know. I wasn't near my usual places to use my charge card.
i would be too...slash i think i am for you. i hate it when people suck!!!
love you both ;-)
