Credit Card Fraud - MAKE SURE YOU CHECK YOUR STATEMENTS WHEN YOU RETURN HOME

[SLP]

I always let my credit card and debit card companies know when I am going away. They ask the dates and how long I'll be there. If any charges seem out of sorts they call me and check. It's worthwhile to take the time and make the calls.

I make the call prior to leaving but without fail, my rarely used card is flagged. The card companies ask you are you going to be making any unusual purchases but how do you answer that with a card you rarely use? I only use my card at certain establishments - Hi-Lo, Push Cart and the airport liquor store and thankfully no problems....yet.

I always make the call now. One time I didn't and my cc company wouldn't allow any charges to the card!
