Maybe I should have signed up for LifeLock
So, my credit card information was stolen today, which is a pretty awesome way to start your day. An international charge for a gaming site hit my checking account via PayPal, with no record of the transaction on my PayPal log.
Both PayPal and Chase finally isolated the transaction, reissued my debit cards, and are disputing the charges on my behalf. Neither one will refund the money immediately, which is infuriating because $90 came straight out of my checking account.
It’s amazing that neither company flagged my account activity as fradulant considering I live in Chicago and the initial transaction was in Euros.

I’ve ordered things internationally before with my credit card before, and never got a call from the credit card company. Kinda makes you worried, doesn’t it.

Lisa – Me, too. But the one time I was in Europe, my card was declined! Haha.

Oh no. That is awful.

We own a sort of vendor website, and an identy theft protection is one of our vendors. I am so happy to be using it! I worry that something will happen to us because we do use our information online all the time.
I guess you should be very thankful that is was only $90, it could have been much worse since they were not notifying you about charges.
