Thursday my credit card company called ME. They suspected that someone had taken my credit card number and charged something to me somewhere in California. For some reason, maybe because it happened at the same time I was charging things a thousand miles away, it looked strange so they called. Can you believe that?

I was amazed. In fact, I insisted on calling them back in case it was a crank call or something. Who would think there was actually a human on the other end of that little plastic card? That someone was keeping an eye on my credit card was a huge surprise to me.

They cancelled my credit card as we spoke which means I can't charge anything on that card until Monday, but at least no one else can either.

Never had that happen before.
