Well L' s credit card was compromised this month...she emailed me yesterday to check on her mastercard because it got declined while she was making a purchase. We went in and checked her statement online and sure enough, a rash of purchases from miscellaneous gas stations in various towns. She suspects that it happened at a grocery store based on the transaction dates. She's still in possession of the card.
L called the credit card company and they cancelled the card. They will be sending her an affidavit to to sign, as well as a new replacement card. She said the guy was matter of fact, like it happens all the time. We'll get credited once she submits the affidavit.

so glad it will be covered being a CC (unlike my debit card!). Good to know now before anything worse happened. Hope all is well there with your precious daughter, dear christine.
thank you too for all your ow encoouraging words.
Thank goodness she was OK. I'm always worried about our credit card being stolen. There are so many ways for it to be compromised these days. Take care.
It gives you a sick feeling in your stomach when this type of thing happens.
I was very lucky that my credit card company was on the ball a couple of months ago.
Someone from another country tried to use my credit card and my card company rang me on a Sunday night to check if it was a legitimate transaction. I told them it wasn't so they cancelled my card and issued a new one.
How in the world could someone use the card at a gas station while she had possession of the card itself? Scary!
