Credit Cards

Well, I can ache for ya

BUT

Got a call one evening around 9 pm. Thought it was a telemarketer but it was a Credit Fraud Division call. Said sorry to call you so late but did you happen to buy 2 round trip tickets to the Far East this afternoon for a flight tomorrow in Miami ?

Huh? I said no and that I was in New Hampshire.

Guy said 'Though so - this was not in your normal spending habits. I'll disapprove the credit and close your account immediately. I'll have a new card out to you next week. Can you wait that long?'

I said "If you are going to verify my SSN and mothers last name, you're going to have to mail me the paperwork cuz I'm not giving it to you over the phone".

His reply: He laughed and said "I have all your information in front of me. Don't ever give that info to anyone for verification because it would be a fraud. I just noticed it because it was not in your normal spending habits. Tear up your card and your new one will be there in 3 to 6 days"

So - They are not all bad.
