'Tis the Season . .
For credit card fraud! We just got a call from the bank about our Visa card. They thought there might be a problem . . I'll say! Someone charged a $24K light system or light fixture . . didn't quite get all the details and my brain was spinning at that point . . and $357 on AOL. Credit card has now been cancelled, I'm about to stop shaking . . please check your credit card statements carefully these days. Judy

My eBay account was stolen last month by a person in UK selling Nokia camera phones. In one day he managed to accrue $800 in listing fees. I was beside myself panicking but eBay took care of it.
I immediately installed spyware on my computer and it was amazing the sites I had memberships. Spyware immediately cut this guy's connection to me and since then I have not had any troubles. Knock on wood!
I understand. . .believe me.

OH NO Judy...I am always thankful when the credit card company calls and asks if we charged certain things. Thank goodness they caught it. We always check our credit card statements.

Yup, I'm on my 3rd card this month! Luckily our non-charges were only about $2000 before they noticed it - and of course we had no problem with them taking them off. Its the pits isn't it!
