Good Morning Sunshine (not!)
Me to my husband at about 7AM....
'Either we have fraud on our METRO 1 account, or you have some explaining to do.'
I was reconciling the checkbooks this morning, and when I logged in to M1 to download my transactions, I saw 2 charges for personals sites....Match.com & AmericanSingles.com to be specific.
Now....I know it wasn't me making the charges because #1 - I don't like vanilla sites & #2 - I don't like to pay for those kind of services. All my personal ad accounts are the basic/free memberships.
So....that left hubby being amazingly dumb.....or fraud.
Hubby was as flabbergasted as I was & said he didn't do it.
So.....since I just happen to work where I do my banking, I fired off an email to our Fraud people & when I got in, they were already working on the issue.
So.....it turns out that it was Rik's card that got compromised. I called Match.com, and while they hinted that it was his name on the charges, they wouldn't say it out-right. They told me to have 'the other card holder' call them. SO, Rik called Match.com and told them that we were going to dispute the charge. He then called AmericanSingles.com, and they told him that the charge originated on the 17th.....and that the person then cancelled the account a few days later and that it was set up as a 'woman seeking man' account.
So....my cards are cancelled & new ones are being ordered. The charges will be reversed by METRO 1 (as soon as I give them the paperwork with all the signatures needed).
So.....that was how I started my day.
Honestly......the week will end better, won't it? I'm going to FLASH Friday night.....get to (at least) see The Wench.....it's gotta get better!!
