Just got a call from our charge card company, fraud alert department, some SOB, some how got our acct. number and went shopping, grrrrrrrrrrrr!!
Five thousand dollars for tires? Maybe truck tires? and a 63 dollar charge for flowers !!!!!!!!!!!
I am spaced about now, to think and wonder how did these low life,scum bags grt the acct. numbers, I can imagine there are easy ways, eh? The tires were purchased in FL, the fraud alert dept. said the ship to was different than the bill to, well, yeah that would be obvious, but didn't they track the ship to and trace this??? Same with the florist, that investigation shouldn't be hard, duh?
Oh, I am livid, I just had to post this to scream out of desperation, and anger too, now our acct has been frozen and we are being issued new accounts. Fortunately the credit card company alerted us right away, they also said they are involved with investigations on a rash of these occurences.
Ten years ago, when dining at a party, my husband had given the waiter the card for the liquor bill, when charge bill came in the mail, we saw 69 dollar phone charges to some carribean island, problem was I hadn't looked over the bills for awhile so the credit company said they couldn't do anything, but always in the future look over you bill besides sending in the payment, that I do.
This is different cause it was caught before I even receivd a bill.
Oh man, I just want to scream, bad enough I am at my wits end with being a caregiver to my mom, but now this??

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! and Sobs too.
