Wake Up, People!!!11!!
Tuesday: I used my go-to credit card for some $60.
(That’s nowhere near the limit, smartasses.) I received the monthly bill the same day — it showed a grand total of $92 owed. I pay it off every month. And I hadn’t used it in the days prior to this.
Wednesday: I tried to use it to charge $50 worth of groceries. Computer said “Do not honor.” (!) Embarrassing. I had the cash, and an alternate credit card. But the alternate credit card froze their machine. Just when I finally offered to pay cash — after about two minutes — the terminal came back online and the charge was accepted.
Curious now, I drove to another store to test the rejected credit card, to see if it would be rejected again. It was not.
When I arrived home, there was a voice mail from my credit card issuer, saying there had been suspicious activity on my card, and asking me to verify (by pressing “1”) whether all three charges above were indeed instigated by me. I did.
I am looking forward to this month’s statement, so I can see what they considered “suspicious activity.” Its use at one store the day before? My hunch is that it probably involves FBI memes on IMAO. That’s my hunch.
Provide your card number, expiration, security code & billing zip code, and I will look into it for you.
Ah yeah, heard about this. Problem is your social credit score is too low. The recommended way to fix this problem is to fill out several mail in ballots for D’s.
Chinese hackers.
I haven’t had that happen since right after I ordered 100 copies of the “Blazing Saddles 50th Anniversary Edition” from georgefloydoverdosedonfentanyl.com.
