Default Re: Credit card horror

You may have been one of the unlucky ones that got caught in the Sweet Bay interception. Sadly, once they get a number, it is easy to do fraudulent charges. The only real protection we have is to be vigilant and check our statements carefully. Good for you for catching this and taking steps to clear it up -- many just decide the total isn't worth the effort (that's what makes it worthwhile -- $20-40 on a lot credit cards adds up to a very tidy sum).
