Not exactly sure.
GD ******* credit card fraud ****.

Go to pay Visa card that I only use when AMX is not accepted and it's $1700 of which $1500 is fraud charges from some hotel in Denver and a Pizza Hut, also in Colorado.


Big reason I'm weaning the wife off her credit card and making her go to a debit card. Doesn't check her statement and has auto pull. Deadly combo.

We had this happen a few years ago. I now receive a notification on my phone anytime a purchase is made on our credit card.

I'm walking through the skyway and notice the light rail train has come off the track. Two cars are at about a 30 degree angle to each other. That was weird.

Also walking through the skyways, I noticed this tall 20-something girl wearing short denim shorts and my first thought was, "That's not very practical apparel for this time of year." Have I been married too long? I'm sure my wife would say yes.

We have that as well as a notification of a purchase of a large amount before they process it. I think we set ours at $500.

We have it for ever purchase. The fraud we experienced was for a lot of small purchases (food, gas, clothing).

So do we, except they are after transaction processed on the small ones.

Son in Florida had this three times, skimmers all over the place. Bank froze his card each time on the first charge, always a fast food charge between $15-20. Pretty easy to tell since they were in other cities when he had just used his card where he lives.

Hey @BoxsterCy i convinced a co-worker to go out on dates with you whenever you come to Costa Rica if you financially back our ATV tour business we want to start.

I’ve pretty much talked her into hand stuff for you, but you can probably sweet talk her for more.
