Just wanted to remind everyone to be extra cautious with thier credit cards. I received a call Thursday morning from Judd Clem (Treasurer of the Alabama Forge Council) telling me that a charge I had made to pay for items I won at the auction had been declined. I called my bank and they informed me that they believed it to be a fraudulent charge because it was keyed in as opposed to being a "swiped card" charge.
Nadine and I went to dinner last night and I attempted to us my card to pay (i use my cc for everything) and it was declined. When I called the bank today, it turns out someone (not the Forge Council, I know this for fact) has acquired my card number and run me up one heck of a bill. Someon planned a vacation on Orbit and charged several hundred dollars to an on-line dating service in Europe.
Luckily, my bank (USAA) is on top of thier game and caught this before it got stupid. Please be cautious where you use your cards and who you trust with the info. I'm extremely anal about my cc security but somehow I was victim. If I can be, anyone can.
