An attempt has been made to use my prepaid credit card.
I went to the web site to check my balance and discovered an unauthorised transaction had been declined for lack of funds. After having a mild nervous breakdown I rang the card issuer and they connected me to their fraud section.
It appears that an employee of a company I have dealt with on the internet has tried to use my card details to buy $800+ worth of goods from another company.
It's not actually a credit card as such and I don't keep a lot of money on it, so the transaction was declined and no money actually left my account, but it sure gave me a fright.
Unfortunately, the company has decided to issue me with another card so I won't be able to use my account until I activate the new card (which could be a while as it has to come from Melbourne-the state with the slooowest postal service in the country).

Yikes! That is so scary & one reason why I don't use cards. Isn't God good?!
Can you send me an e~mail, love, that I can reply to? Pretty, please?
P.S Does your cat still love us?
Kimba, you might be interested in doing this. Beyond Rubies (link to MrsMordecai from me & link to BR from her) is hosting a Reading through History thingy. 1776 is the next read. I've ordered the book from the library.
