I checked our credit card bill on Friday, as I do often, but especially at the end of the month when it's time to reconcile the bills. My heart dropped when I saw two charges that I knew NOTHING about. I called my husband to see what he knew. He knew what I knew, which was nothing.
I quickly called my bank, who connected me with the fraud department, who took care of the matter neatly and quickly. But the questions remain: how did they get the number? will they get the next one? who is this person who thought it was okay to use my credit card number? how did they get the number? will they leave me alone now?
