1.54 - The One with the Phantom purchases

Credit card fraud happens everyday…and I am now an official member of the credit card fraud victims club. I purchase stuff online on a frequent basis and use my credit cards for those…I rarely whip out my card and pay for stuff in the real world with it…but is that where I was victimized? Nope…figures…the time I pull out my Visa and physically use it…I’m a victim of credit card fraud. Some yahoo decides that he/she wants to use my card to buy gas in Ottawa…problem is for me…I’m not in Ottawa…haven’t been there since July. So they get my Visa number and hold onto it until September 6, where they spent $67.02 on gas. Then they used it the following day to buy another $74.04 worth of gas. I know the gas prices have been really high…but suck it up and spend your own money. Well I called Visa to report it and they ask me about 10 verification questions…to make sure I am who I claim to be…they cancel my Visa number…take those purchases off my card…and tell me that they will investigate it. I hope they catch them…
