Thank goodness I get an alert every time the credit card is used. April 1 at 6:48am the card was used to charge $170 at Country Inn and Suites. This is clearly a fraudulent charge. I called the card issuer and canceled the card.

So be careful out there the crookes seem to be smarter every day.

We had card numbers "stolen" for cards that never left our wallets, it turns out the bad guys use random number generators and submit to websites when they get a hit, then they start using the number for purchases.
