This was what the guy did. All he asked was if we had tried to make a large purchase 6 minutes ago and I told him no I had not bought anythingi in 3 or 4 days. He said he was with fraud prevention for my bank (Citizens) and that he thought the large purchase was unusual for our account. He cancelled my card right then and told me to contact my bank first thing in the morning as they had already closed for the day. All he asked was for the zip code #. I asked if I would have to pay for the purchase and he said they had declined the purchase.
