Why, have unusual charges showed up on your card? Do you know how to do a stop payment or report a stolen card?

That's the beauty of using debit cards to donate, as I do with my monthly donation. If you feel your card number has been "compromised" - just call your bank and say you lost it. They will issue you a new debit card immediately with a new number and cancel the old one. Then you start clean again.
I actually like getting a new debit card every now and then. It's like getting a new e-mail address. Everything's fresh and clean again - at least for a little while. All those people you got sick of hearing from can't reach you anymore unless YOU tell them your new address.
Well a debit card is like that. When I "lost" my debit card during the summer, everybody who had my debit card on file couldn't charge me anymore for things until I gave them my new number. I got to pick and choose who I wanted to keep giving to. Free Republic made the cut. Some bozo "book-of-the-month" club didn't and neither did some domain hosting service my son signed up with. I clean up a lot of bills that way.
Anyway, I digress. I would hope that Badjoe would never do something as dishonest (and criminal) as misuse the card numbers he was entrusted with. (Actually I don't think he ever saw them.) During the time I knew Badjoe, I never knew him to by anything but a good guy. But if it is true that he intends to reveal the real names of moderators and other underhanded crap like that, I will lose all my respect for him. Don't do it Badjoe!
I don't want to alarm you but he said something about booking a fortnight in Acapulco...
I believe BADJOE to be an honest person. If I were you I wouldn't lose any sleep over that.
Thanks for calling that to attention, babe. I will peruse my CC especially close.
And fwiw, not even knowing what the hell is up with this, I gave a $50 one time over my monthly, which I cannot really afford, but which I cannot afford not to give.
I gave Badjoe my credit card number when I was a monthly donor and I am not the least bit concerned about it. I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.
