this morning grumpy got a call pretty early, well really early for a call like this, bank of america saying they think there is some kind of crazy activity going on on your credit card. they name off some names of places he had never heard of. he knew i had just ordered a book..ok he said amazon could be my wife, (it was) he called me. asked if i knew any of these charges. yeah the amazon ones.
i had no idea! 300$ to some shoe company. i wish. but we are keeping up two house payments, here and in utah. i have no business charging 300+ to some shoe company. lol no i didn't know any of the other charges either. so when he comes home we get to go through the credit card and dispute all the charges that don't belong to us.
its nice the bank of america knows our buying habits enough to know we don't charge 300$ on shoes. and shop on QVC. then call grumpy and tell him something is wrong.

what a blessing this is to you guys! That is so scary. Do you think it is identity theft? Did someone get your CC#? What is the deal??? Scary world.

Sorry gramee! I had something similar happen to me, but it was through paypal. Luckily I got it all resolved. They never found out who it was, but they charged over $800 to my cc over a 2 week period.
It's so unnerving!!!

I fear the day something like this happens to me! I hope you are able to get it all sorted out and that there is no permanent damage to your credit! What a nightmare! Darn Criminals!

B of A is very good about notifying you as soon as something weird is going on. We've gone through this a few times. It's a pain!
BTW.... love the purse you picked out. Very fancy! Enjoy your weekend.

Had it happen two too many times.. I was so not talking to you about the materialistic thing.. I hope you didn't see it that way and take it personally! There is so much girl drama going on up here when it comes to blogging..
