someone stole/copied my credit card. mother fucker.
i randomly decided to check my credit card online today and the last three charges are 2 "debits" and "credits" for ticketmaster for $543.90 each and a $6 charge to "court services gov bc victoria". so i call my credit card company and the first guy i get is an idiot.
he says "well the ticketmaster charges were refunded and the government thing the card wasn't physically used, so you called them or did it online" and i'm like "bitch, i didn't use the card in any way. and i owe the government of bc nothing, why would i pay them?!"
and he says "well it could be the government of canada and it was processed in bc."
and i'm like "fine, but i didn't use my card at all!" pretty sure i'd recall sitting home on a sunday afternoon using my card for a $6 charge to the government.
he tells me like 5 times that this charge wasn't in person, and could be the government anywhere.
i ask "so what's it for?"
"i don't know. the government."
jesus wept.
so of course i insist on talking to someone else, and dick sandwich flips me over to some guy that at least has a brain, and he's like "okay, yes, lets look at your charges and work backwards... did you refill a starbucks card this morning?"
"um, no"
"you didn't? okay, well someone did for $99.92"
it also seems that they charged $7 to some hotel website. and bought what must have been some front row tickets at ticketmaster. and so on. for a total of $1300ish since sunday. christ on a cross.
of course the charges are all being reversed, and they're sending me another card [which, note to self: call rogers and have automatic billing changed], but it's all just such a hassle. not to mention that i'll have a new card to memorize.
oh, and what REALLY bothers me, was when the gent on the phone said "okay, so these were all entered manually... oh, one online... oh wait, that was swiped", meaning that they actaully made a copy of my card. i don't know how that makes it worse, but somehow it does.
i'm so thankful that i decided to troll on over to my credit card statement on a whim today. nip this in the bud, asshole credit card thief. i hope you choke on uncircumsized dick. |
