that's scary. someone once made an unauthorized purchase using my credit card a few years ago but it was only for $20 and i did get credited back for it. but $660? omg. :(

that's what sucks about online transactions. they're SO convenient but also so risky. makes me think twice about buying things online...

damn, i checked my history and i've got 11 accounts, 5 of which i wasn't aware of. they haven't been used but wtf, where did they come from??

anyway, this shit sucks .. i think twice i've been notified that my personal information was vulnerable because databases that held the info were compromised .. and twice, i've had to put an alert on my file for any suspicious activity. i admit, i'm not as vigiliant about staying safe as I should be .. but do you know exactly how your information could've been obtained? they had your pin number too?

no....they used the number off my Visa check card, so it was processed as a credit card.

i also have an unused account that showed up on my credit history, but it's one that i "signed up" for when i got my best buy account (supposedly, they automatically sign you up for one). I immediately cut the card...hm...but never canceled it.

Girl, you feel free to express yourself no matter how vulgar! If we can't do it online, where CAN we do it? Had fun tonight, and you and Ronnie are very cute. Cheers!
