Default Credit Card Fraud

So yesterday evening I get a call from my bank asking about my credit card usage. Not
trusting the caller, I called the bank. Sure enough, my credit card information had
been used at a Shell station in California for a $110 purchase. The actual card was
still in my billfold, so somehow they got the number.

How? I don't know. But the card is cancelled. Right when I'm about to order Christmas
presents. Pain in the ass. Luckily, the bank will get me a new card in two days.

So...watch yourself.
