Chips With Everything

Today I got a bit of a shock when I opened my credit card statement and found lots of fraudulent transactions listed.
Apparently, in the space of 24 hours, I had bought McDonalds in Rio de Janerio, shoes in Paris and computer software in Atlanta, and much more.
This card is off to the shredder.

Time to put the Tardis in cold storage.... Sadly, an increasingly frequent occurrence....

Identity theft is on the rise for sure. Are you sure you were not jet setting around on your private place again?

While I was at work a few years ago my bank card was on a five day spending spree in Romania, despite the fact it was safely tucked away in my wallet!
Not a nice feeling even though the £1400 was fully refunded! Same outcome here hopefully!

Oh gosh Bill, no. Hope everything gets re-credited.

It happens. Did to me. Hope all is covered for you.

Wow, that's scary! You would think somebody at the credit card company might have thought it odd that you were in all those places in the space of 24 hours. Beautiful photograph, though!

So much for the ultra-secure chip. It was just a matter of time.

Hope you do not have to pay it, be careful Bill. V
However we are wary of fraudulence, these deceptions are omnipresent.

I know you get around a bit Bill but that much travel must be very tiring!

Hope all is sorted soon.
