The only thing I can think of is, when I was at the gas station, someome had stole some information as I had not lost my CC. A friend of mine had refused using his CC at a gas station and I remember him commenting, he was supicious of someone stealing the CC information. Maybe he was right?
It's always good idea to be diligent and deal with a company who will be suspicious of transactions. It's always a good idea to call them if your going on a trip, or else they might deactivate your account, if they see a different zip code for your purchases. I am talking about a far away trip and not a city near your zip code.
Thank you for posting this.
