Perfect timing

Nothing like having to cancel your credit card right before you take a trip because there's been fraudulent activity on a crazy website that's not even in English.

What's worse is they had the 3 digit code on the back as well which means they hacked an online transaction somewhere along the way.

Why do people have to be such jerks? And at Christmas time nonetheless.

At least it was just your credit card and not your bank account like us last year! SORRY that you have been hit with fraud... Don't forget to do a credit check on everything else too!

Oh man! I'm sorry to hear that. I hope the mess gets all cleared up.

Erin said...

Oh my word! That totally sucks! At least you caught it early.

I hope that you don't have any more nasty surprises.

Yikes! I hope it gets fixed shortly, and without too much stress!

Oh man, that really stinks! What a pain in the rear end to have to worry about right now (or any time for that matter). Hope it all clears up for you soon!

Thanks. It was only a $50 charge to that Lebanese news site, so we should get that credited back. I'm just glad that Matt caught it. It would have been easy to miss.

This is why you
1. never should buy anything online with a debit card

and

2. should have more than 1 credit card.

We have our debit card that isn't connected to the credit card, so we're not totally without money. It's just annoying (and a little worrisome) mostly.

BUMMER! We have had to change cards a few times. Aaron was really upset when I got another card (with just my name) but it was just for this type of situation! Hope you get it all worked out!

I'm so sorry. I hope you're still able to have a great Christmas.
