We have our credit card companies set up to send a text when a charge is made. One evening Mr. Boomer came home from a meeting and said, “Did you buy a membership in something called Tinder?”

After I stopped laughing, I explained to him what Tinder is.

Because of that instant text message, we ruined whoever’s good times with Tinder by calling Am Ex immediately.

I am not surprised there was little interest in tracking down the thieves. Sometimes, if it is an inside job, an employee might get caught. But otherwise, I think most credit card fraud is not pursued. The crime is rampant and the victim is covered when the charges are dismissed so I think time-wise, it has to move way down the list of things law enforcement has to take care of.

It is aggravating I know. I will never figure out how whoever took mine got it. But, at least, that text message with notification got it shut down fast.
