Visa called and asked if we had purchased over a thousand bucks worth of mountain bike equipment in San Diego. We said
no, they looked into it, found it was fraud from a credit card receipt from a restaurant in town, and the whole thing
went away. The even apologized for having this happen...
Yipes! We had a case of credit card fraud about 17 years ago. Someone ordered mobile phones on the husband’s credit card, but the crook had them delivered to another house on our street, just a few doors down. Scary part was that when my husband called he was told by the credit card company that the thief had his SS#.
Fortunately, though, we have not had any similar incidents, and the husband monitors our credit cards all of the time.
