More Credit Theft

without comments

Those of you with way too much time on your hands may remember some posts last year about a credit card of mine being used to rack up $6000 from Neiman Marcus, including getting the billing address changed without my authorisation.

Well, this week I noticed two charges at a 7/11 that I’ve never been too, on the same day, for a total of $300 (thats a lot of slurpees!). And since then there has been a $5 charge for an AT&T collect call. So the card has been cancelled, not liable for the charges etc. End of story I thought.

But… I go online to check the seat assignments for our trip to England next week and find they are CANCELLED!!! Wtf?? I call up and they tell me that someone called them on Dec 12th and told them to cancel the flights. After a long spell on hold they were able to reinstate the booking (but without seat assignments) but who the hell did that? And why?? I don’t really think AA believed that I never called which I understand as the alternative explanation makes no sense, but I sure as hell didn’t cancel them. I’m just glad I spotted it before we showed up at the check in desk. Holy crap, batman.
