[font "Arial"][size 2]I just thought I’d share this little experience I had last weekend. [/size][/font]
[font "Arial"][size 2] [/size][/font]
[font "Arial"][size 2]I stopped at a gas station on Saturday to fill up and get a cup of coffee (as just about everywhere has gone to prepay, this station was no exception) I gave the clerk my credit card for collateral so I could fill up, then went in got a cup of coffee I got my credit card back and my wife paid with a check. Well the clerk copied down the numbers off the front of my card while I was filling the tank and has had a lot of fun for the last few days to the tune of about $1000.00. Visa really does watch for fraudulent charges because they put a hold on my account before I new what was happening.[/size][/font]

It's crazy what some of these idiots will do. Someone got my CC number a few years ago and actually used it to pay their utilitiy bills in Vegas. Talk about a STUPID criminal trick. At least the idiots made it easier for the cops to find them! I guess the criminal and stupid genes get passed on the same chromosome!

That's rediculous! Glad you got it stopped before things got too out of control. I hope when they go to jail that "Bubba" teaches them about proper handling of other peoples property![Wink]

I "work" for a major player in the Credit Card business...and not one of the crappy ones. I know that fraud watch is a huuuge thing, you wouldnt belieive some of the "conversations" I have with people every day. I tell you what I make the clerks at the stations and all swipe my card and bill the gas while I stand there, not just give them the card and turn it on...I tell them put 30$ on the pump and If I take less I get a return most of the time they give you cash so its easier...but they will refund the card too..thats what they are supposed to do. I dont trust anyone, myself least of all with my credit card(s). And I am telling you that other stuff they have as "services" for your card WORK like the identity theft stuff, and the protection stuff if you get hurt or fired...if you have a ton of cards, the one that cancels all the cards if good too...I dont use it I have only a few cards. but if you have like 5 or more....get that with one of the cards, then if you get mugged or "gas clerked" one call takes care of it all instead of calling each card one after the other...I hate theives too. They make me have to work harder and put my people in bad moods. im done ranting now I guess, sorry but I hadda.
