I was at Pennbrook golf course on Tuesday. We went into the grill for beers afterwards and I bought a pitcher on my credit card. ($11.13 plus tip). Over an hour after we left, a charge came from the grill for $3004. The credit card rejected the charge and notified me. Interestingly, while I have text alerts whenever the card is used, the fraud team rejected the charge before they contacted me.

I have contacted Pennbrook to tell them of the fraudulent charge. They did get back to me for the details and said they would find the source of the problem. If you go there, I would pay cash at the grill.
