I found out yesterday while at work that last week when I was in Houston my work credit card numbers were "captured"/stolen! I found out when the credit card theft dept. (yeah aren't you glad they exist) called me at work yesterday and asked about a purchase in GA for $5,000 worth of diamonds at "Diamonds and More." hahaha! That didn't really fit in with my normal, hotel, car rental and food purchases! Once they noticed the purchase they froze my card, but whoever is using it tried to buy $500 worth of stuff at Game Stop and $40.00 at a gas station!
It's so weird b/c my actual card is with ME, it wasn't stolen, but some how they took my numbers. The customer service lady said that if she could tell me "how" they do it she wouldn't be sitting in a cubical! I guess it was one of those devices we've all seen on CSI or Law & Order that captures your numbers after you slide it through the machine....likely it was a gas station. Crazy! So, after being on the phone for an hour yesterday the final decision was for me to call back in 3-5 business days and dispute the claim...who knows how long this will take! It will take 10-14 days for a new card, scary!
I guess it wouldn't be a good idea for me to wear my new tennis bracelet to work tomorrow, huh!? :)
