Hi everyone!
Pretty soon I'm going to a nearby town to finish my scuba refresher. Today I do the pool work; last Wed. I did the course work. I hope the trip still happens! I've been checking on Fay and so far it looks like it'll be past by Wed. (the day we arrive) but who knows? We knew it was a risk when we planned this trip for August but it was the only time my friend could go. Nothing to do but wait and see...
I had a very weird thing happen yesterday. I got an automated call from "Chase credit card security" saying that there was suspected fraudulent activity on my Disney Visa (they gave the last four numbers of the account) and I should "press 1" or call back to this 800 number for further information. That totally sounded like a scam to me! So I called the number on the back of the credit card to report it. But when I called that number, it patched me straight through to the fraud division! To make a very long story short, there *had* been a couple of fraudulent charges on that card--one to Bed Bath and Beyond for $11 and one to what sounded like a gas station for $111. They're taking them off and sending me a new card with a new account number so it was all OK---but the story doesn't stop there!
An hour or so later I get another call, this time from a real person who identified himself as being from Chase fraud division saying there had been suspected fraudulent activity on a different Chase Visa that I have. Sure enough, 2 charges to....Bed Bath and Beyond! So they closed that account and are sending me a new card for that one! Very spooky!
So far, no more calls. But isn't it weird that they would notify you with an automated call? I was totally suspicious and really rattled by the whole thing.
But other than that, things are fine with me. Still glued to the Olympics, gone to a couple of movies and now will be getting ready for my trip to FL (hopefully). Hi to everyone!
