Check That Credit Card Statement

Someone recently bought a Delta Airlines ticket for $275.06 on one of my cards. It was the only fraudulent charge for over a week so I was scratching my head trying to figure out where the hell I booked airfare too. Then some medical crap came in from Cali for like $1200 so I reported it.

US issued CCs are much more vulnerable to fraud than Euro issued CCs since US CC Companies have resisted the mandatory use of PINS. So Euro crooks love to get a hold of US card #s.

One of life’s great mysteries. It is astounding how we simply handover a credit card in the US to a waiter at a restaurant and he returns within a few minutes later with the credit card check for us to sign. I’ve been working in Calgary for the past few months and the card never leaves my hand. They bring a wireless machine out to the table and you put your card in the machine and enter your PIN...blows my mind why the US hasn’t fully grasped this yet. Some restaurants have it but I find them very few and far between

I highly recommend setting up all the security features on your accounts. I get a text and email for all activity. It’s a pain at first to have your phone blow up whenever you make a purchase, but you get used to it.

I kept trying to hand him my card and he said he wasn't allowed to touch it.

Pure awesomeness.
