I got an email thanking me for my purchase of an iPhone through Shoplify. I dunno…I don’t do shoplify and have checked my CC’s. No phones on them, I think if I called their number I would have been scammed
I used to pay my bills once a month. I ran on a fiscal month. I would pay whatever bills I had on the 20th of the month (I got my bank statement in the mail by then) with whatever money I had on the 20th. I told all my creditors that if they could get my bill to me by the 20th, they would have the check by the first.
With electronic banking, I pay every Saturday. I review my credit card statement online. It’s easier to remember what I used the card for that week than it is to try to remember what the $11.33 purchase was a month ago. My wife and I once booked a walking tour in Charleston, SC. The charge showed up from an entertainment company in Hollywood, CA.
I often stick my head over the railing to call down to my wife, “I got a charge for $50.00 made last Tuesday. Was that you?” I don’t care what she buys or how much she spends on it (she is a very responsible shopper). I just want to make sure that the two of us are the only ones making charges against the card.
I have no idea how much it costs to buy a fake credit card, but whoever buys one with our number probably doesn’t get their money’s worth.
It may seem like paying the bills 4 times a month is 4 times the work, but it is only 1/4 the the work each time, there are fewer outstanding charges to balance, and billing issues are easier to manage the sooner you detect them.
Somebody stole my wife’s credit card. What are you going to do about it? Nothing. The person that stole it is spending less per month than my wife was.
She could become worse than any scammer, if she continues on that road to get a reaction. Nothing draws the interest like an unanticipated hit on one’s wallet.
For Valentine’s Day, my wife and my girlfriend both gave me cards that were very similar: you know the kind, hearts and flowers with kind words of love forever. I also gave them similar cards. The difference? One said Visa and the other said MasterCard…
I’m beginning to lose sympathy for those who are scammed. After all the publicity about phone and internet scams, you’d think that folks would just stop responding to any unidentified phone call or email. Unless, of course, you’ve just arrived on the planet.

He is a wise man, in any scenario he is going to lose, so it is better to be silent.

Old joke:
Person1: That’s a nice car you have.
Person 2: Yes, I got it for my wife.
Person 1: Good trade.
