Some of you guys may remember when I posted about fradulent charges on my credit card(s) about a year ago. Well I have had some recent problems as well.
I rarely use credit cards. If I do, I pay off the balance the next month.
All my problems started last year when I contacted 2 of my credit cards to inform them I was leaving the country. I did it so I did not have a problem if I made any purchases while on vacation.
I also started an ID alert through one of my credit cards at the time. The ID alert gives your credit score and alerts you of any activity. It was a free trial for so many months so I thought what the hell. I planned on canceling it after the free trial but forgot about it.
I paid off the credit card balance I had the ID alert through and I decided that it was a big waste of money. I called the credit card company and canceled it.
A week later after canceling the ID alert I have fradulent charges on one of my credit cards. The credit card with the charges has not been used in about 2 years. I don't even carry it with me.
Somethings fishy. Ever since I enrolled in the ID alert I have had 10 fradulent credit card purchases....
Coincidence or not?
It just pi$$es me off dammit.
