A good friend of mine in on her way from Texas to Ohio because her mother is in a coma. They stopped in Arkansas to buy gas and their credit card was refused. She called the 800 number on the back and they told her someone in N.Y has been using it since Monday.
My friend always checks her online statements weekly. But that wasn't often enough apparently.
And she never buys online, etc.
I am charging their hotel room tonight for them, her brother is going to pay their gas etc on their trip back to Texas after the funeral. Just a mess.
We figure someone must have used one of those card reader things that can get your number through your purse or whatever.
Please keep an eye daily on your card activity.
