Identity theft.

Got a call from visa fraud detection. I had made some heafty charges this week on my visa debit card and they wanted to go over the amounts. I verified all but a tiny $1.27 charge that I could not have made I was in a hotel and no where nears making a charge. They assured me that this happens all the time, people have ways of getting card numbers. So here we are at the shopping high of the year and my card has been canceled. What a drag. But good to know that visa looks out for us.
