1984?

I looked the other day for the last time the Communist Party USA had a Presidential Candiated. Guess when that was? Yes, in 1984.

By then they had taken complete control of the ComDem Party. So it made no sense to have a Presidential candidate.

I saw the dollar $ign as the 1 in the amount referencing 1984.

A couple of years ago someone in England tried to use my debit card info. Fortunately the bank caught it and locked the card. Unfortunately I tried to use it before they notified me.

Not sure how the bank caught him but I am glad they did.

Checked my cc’s back to November. Nothing of that amount. Nice tip though.

"...consumer complaints all reporting the same niggling charge."

That's racist!

This is an old scam. We had a charge of under $5 on our bill a few years ago. I checked the business name on the internet and turned up an article about how some Russian syndicate was billing lots of Mastercard accounts for small amounts. We called Mastercard and they removed the amount from our account, but the person we talked to didn’t seem interested in who was behind it.

I was contacted by my bank recently and asked if I had tried to buy $49 worth of goods from a Walmart in Arkansas. Feeling fairly certain I hadn’t been to Walmart or Arkansas lately I said no. The bank said they were going to cancel my card because someone in Arkansas was trying to use it. As I was speaking with the bank rep another purchase attempt came in. It was for the same amount, $49 and again at a Walmart in Arkansas. Again not me. They canceled my card and I had a new one within days.

I save all my card receipts and check them off against the bill. Only takes a few minutes and helps ensure nothing is amiss.

I was notified by my bank in December of this charge. I had banks alerts activated at the time. My account was charged for 9.84 plus foreign transaction fees.

Needless to say. Since I saw it quickly, the bank replaced my card and repaid me for the charges.

This is a real one folks.

This is why I log into my credit card acct and review charges every day.

It also keeps me on top of what my wife has been spending money on...
