Well, I haven’t, but my Visa card has. Yesterday, Jenn and I were out of the house running some errands. We came home for a quick lunch before heading out again. While we were eating, the phone rang. It was the Visa Fraud Department. Apparently, my credit card had just been used to buy some gas ten minutes previously and they noticed that I’ve filled up a few other times in the past 24 hours.

Yup, someone made a fake card with my info on it. Kudos to the Visa people for catching this gas guzzling, movie theatre visiting, dry cleaning crook who tried to steal my credit. Apparently, I won’t be charged for any of the stuff either. I asked how it might have happened. They suggested that perhaps some place that I used my card at was robbed and the theives stole credit card receipts and made the fake card using my info. Either that, or those dishonest people at the gas station just did it on their own.

Anyways, I get a fresh new card, so it’s all okay. See, I’m easy to please.
