Someone stole my credit card!!!

by CJ on 15 June, 2009

Ugh!! I just found out that someone stole my credit card number and had been happily using it in Mexico!!!! :( The thing is that this is the credit card that I use only for online purchases. I never use this credit card for any other purpose which means this credit card has never left home. That means that someone must have gotten hold of the number and made a card since that person had been using it all over town!! That’s scary!! And that person also managed to charge above my credit limit which leads me to question the purpose of the credit limit. Is it supposed to stop people from using above the credit limit?? Thank God that I caught this fraud soon enough or the damage would have been really bad. While trying to do damage control with the credit card customer service, I learned that the person was still trying to use my card!!!!Ahhhhhhh !!!!!!!

That’s very scary! I thought the credit limit would have stopped the card from being used once it hit that. That’s horrible!

Ooh, that’s not very nice! I thought those things only happened in Malaysia!

Miche: Hopefully not. I am still trying to clear up the mess with the credit card company.

Lynne: Ya, that’s what I thought too!

Big Pumpkin: Nope, it actually happens a lot here. The problem is that we do a lot of online shopping here, thus very vulnerable to theft.
