Heads up to everyone; I went to M1-5 Lounge last Friday. While there, I used my credit card a couple of times, and apparently someone managed to copy down the numbers. When I checked my account online today, I noticed several charges that I hadn’t authorized; I called Citibank and canceled the account. Thankfully, there were only three charges, all for fairly small amounts (it looks like it wasn’t a professional job, otherwise my card would probably have been maxed out by now).
I actually called one of the merchants that charged my account, and they hung up on me. I told the CSR that I wanted to get some information on a charge made with my credit card that I didn’t authorize. She said that she could look it up in the system if I gave her a phone number. I clearly don’t know what number was given to this company when my card was used, and when I tried to explain it, she hung up on me.
Either way, my card is now canceled; I should get a new one in the mail in the next few days, along with an affidavit where I can mark off the fraudulent charges. So, hopefully it should all be over shortly.
