Identity Theft

Phil got a call from our bank the other day. Apparently there were some suspicious charges on our credit card and they wanted to double check to make sure we hadn't actually used it. There were multiple charges spanning the country so that set off some red flags to the bank. Phil and I both had our credit cards so someone must have stolen the number somewhere on line and sold it. We immediately canceled our cards and changed all of our on line passwords. Thank goodness banks have a fraud prevention system.

The most ridiculous part? One of the charges was $200 to Payless. Really? You steal someones credit card and you go to Payless?
