ID theft, the gift that keeps on giving

I received a wonderful piece of news this morning.  Someone in MI stole my credit card number and attempted two transactions with it in the same store, one of which was successful.  Not only did they steal my number and apparently my name, they had a physical card.  Wonderful!  So I've been skimmed and scammed.  Needless to say, it wasn't me, and I appreciated the call from the credit card company and the affinity affiliation.  I asked when it had happened, and it was THIS MORNING!

So it's good to know this company is on it!  And how.

As I'm in the process of paying down/paying off that card, I really wasn't tickled pink to know they'd charged a couple hundred bucks successfully.  But the company removed the carges and cancelled the card, so that was good.  I'm glad they got caught.  I'm hopeful that once the investigation is completed, that will be the end of it.  God willing.
