my first run in with fraudulent credit card use came yesterday. no. I didnt do it. about 4pm, i received a call from visa. after the standard 39 questions to authenticate that i was myself, i was informed that someone was attempting to secure a purchase for 659 dollars on a website using my card. i was shocked. it wasnt that id ever protested that this would never happen to me. i guess, though, i never knew it would have been so easy for it to happen. other than that, visa couldnt tell me anything else. wouldnt mention if they knew who was using my card number, or what they were going to do about it. instead, they were closing out my account and reissuing me a new account. and im still somewhat in shock about it.
