Listen to this crap

So most of you know that we had to deal with identity theft issues over the summer. Someone got ahold of several credit cards and charged them up. Well that has all been taken care of, the money returned ect. Well yesterday we get a phone call from Chase fraud dept. and someone tried to make a purchase with the credit card that Travis uses for work. UGG! This is ridiculous. Luckily they caught it before it went through since it was an online purchase and they had the wrong exp. date. What the heck is wrong with people? I don't doubt that it would be wonderful to buy whatever you want with someone else's money but there should be a little voice in your head saying "yeah this would be great and it's so easy BUT it is just wrong." This world is flying on a fast track to hell. Just so you guys know if you are going to have a credit card Chase is the company to go with. They are the ONLY people who noticed anything was wrong the last time, and they called us then to report it and called us now. Discover and Washington Mutual however didn't have a clue until I called and told them. Discover actually accused me outright of trying to con them when I tried to cancel the card (there was no balance prior to the theft) so I will never have another Discover account in my life. Make sure you are active in your credit history because these people are nuts and they will do it if the opportunity becomes available. You buy something online, you hand your card to someone in the mall, they can all steal your info. Be Careful
