My credit card company had me do the same.
Poor cop tried to hand write all of the fraudulent charges. There were 5 or 6 pages worth of transactions. I gave him the bank statement :)
Keep a very close watch on all charges to the card no matter how small.
“Keep a very close watch on all charges to the card no matter how small.”
Excellent advice (same with the telephone bill on which unauthorized charges can get placed) . . . a lot of times fraudsters will test run their schemes with a test involving a small transaction to see if it gets noticed by the victim.
I guess I was fortunate. $200 one time, one thousand the other time, both times to the same bank’s credit card (which was changed by the bank after each occurrence.) Still, I didn’t panic, didn’t contact the credit rating bureaus, have never worried about my credit rating number, which is another product invented in recent years to sell to you, and have been getting new credit card offers weekly since then (5-7 years ago) without interruption.
