The weirdest thing...

[eh_notsomuch]

Was just checking my online credit card statement, and there was a $1.37 credit from MACYS EAST 0129 on Thursday, October 21.

Which wouldn't normally bother me, except I wasn't in a Macy's on October 21, or anywhere else on the 21st, or any Macy's in months

Never happened to me, but that is a very interesting way to find good numbers. You give a few dollars, which I would assume would make the average person who doesn't pay much attention very happy ... until those dollars are taken back, with quite a few more!!

Not exactly.
About a month ago I tried to go online to check my bank account and I was locked out. I called, and they said I had entered the incorrect password too many times the previous day, so they locked the account. Of course, I hadn't been to my online banking account in about a week. Apparently someone had tried to hack in with a "correct" userid, but couldn't figure out my password.

I had them unlock the account and immediately changed both my userid and password.

That is creepy, and I think you did the right thing by canceling that card.

creepy!
i once tried to pay for a soda at an interstate resttop with my credit union card, and it wouldn't go through. When i called the credit union, they said they flag tiny purchases (under $2) because those are usual 'test runs' for fraudsters. i bet the 'credit' strategy is them trying to get around that. SNEAKY! Glad you caught it!

2 charges

Just happened to us on our company credit card!! No reason for us to use Macy's since all we purchase are automotive parts!! Thank you, good to know I'm not going crazy!
