I am a Victim.

[XNASA]

Of Credit Card Fraud.

Ask me anything.

[ScreamingMeemie]

1. Oh man... I am so sorry.

:( I hope you have gotten to the bottom of it...?

[XNASA]

2. Yes!

In fact, I uncovered the heinous activity myself.

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. Good for you!

And I hope it didn't take too long and wasn't too painful. I cannot imagine the feeling of violation.

[XNASA]

4. It's only money.

6. That's lousy.

How did you discover it?

[XNASA]

8. Finally. A real question.

There were a few anomalies on our latest statement. Six charges to a local gas station, four of which were for $14.16.

We had stopped using that credit card account for purchases a few months ago, so there should have been no charges at all.

I reported it, and upon further research by the credit card investigator, they discovered other charges going back to May that we never made.

[ScreamingMeemie]

9. Hey! Are you saying my question wasn't real????

The question mark sure looked real... :grr: ;) :ih:

[XNASA]

11. I thought it was rhetorical.

[ScreamingMeemie]

12. It was...

I just have fun acting all affronted. :D

[RevCheesehead]

15. Was that a major credit card, or a gas card?

I need to look at my statements more carefully. :scared:

[XNASA]

18. It was a major credit card, from a well known company. nt

[alcibiades_mystery]

7. I was a cc fraud investigator

What happened? Keep it non-specific.

[XNASA]

10. Not really sure.

My wife and I are still in possession of our cards. The investigator suspects that someone has a counterfeit card.

[tigereye]

13. ouch!

sorry to hear that, X.

[asthmaticeog]

14. DRAG.

I'm sorry.

[XNASA]

22. Was it you?

Of course. I've been such a fool not to notice.

[asthmaticeog]

24. I used it to pay for studio expenses.

I played on a recording a WHILE ago, and the engineer never finished mixing it down, so I took matters into my own hands.

[XNASA]

25. The "DELETE" command on the guitar track beckons to me.

[asthmaticeog]

26. !

:yoiks:

[johnnie]

16. That sucks.

I don't have a question really. I just wanted to post in your thread 'cause you are groovy.

[XNASA]

21. Fantastic, man.

You're marvy. Don't change.

[eyesroll]

17. Do you have access to a free notary public?

You'll get to know him or her very well over the next several weeks. (I've been to my credit union's notary three times since my credit card went to Mexico in April to have various things processed.)

[seemunkee]

19. And the card didn't take you with it?

How selfish of it

[XNASA]

20. Yes.

We must sign an affidavit in the next couple of days to get the bogus charges removed.

Mexico you say. We were in Mexico a few months ago. But the charges have all occurred locally.

Puzzling.

[CanuckAmok]

23. That sucks....

...at least your CC company will credit you the fraudulent charges.

27. May I interest you in a Nigerian account?
