My credit card was stolen

August 20th, 2008 at 12:48 am

My credit card was stolen when I went to a bar on Friday. I know it happened at the bar, but I'm not sure how. I didn't even know that my card was missing until the fraud department called me Saturday morning.

They called asked me about the charges. Let me know I wouldn't be responsible for the two large gas charges and one T-Mobile bill that the theives used. They said I'd get a new card and they'll send me an affidavit to sign.

Even if they hadn't called, I pay off my credit cards as soon as a charge posts, so I would have noticed the fraud charges. But it was great that the company noticed them first!

In other news, I turned the A/C back on last night. Getting humid again. I don't think that it ran much during the day since I kept my blinds closed and set the temp to 80. But its run a few times since I've been home.

    Seems like the thieves will be easy to catch if they are dumb enough to pay a phone bill with a stolen card...

    it's funny that stolen credit cards are used so much lately to buy petrol. i have heard a few stories like that. i guess it really shows how much times have changed!!!

    Glad to hear your company moved swiftly.

    I am extremely careful... OK, paranoid... about my plastic. Nothing's happened to me yet, but hopefully, it'll stay that way.

    That sucks!

    The thieves are not dumb, they know no one cares. We care, but the credit card companies don't. They don't pursue thieves. It's just a cost of doing business to them.

    Sad to say.

    The fraud rep even told me that they probably won't go after the theives for such a small amount.

    Boomeyers,
    The company was Chase. I'm really glad they were on the ball with this. They saved me a lot of hassle.
