Credit ...

There has been a spreading plague of credit card fraud. So far, there have been 5 teachers at my school, including ME, that have had to deal with credit fraud. For me, I got a call from the fraud department asking me to verify a purchase online for a hotel in France. It was $500! Luckily, that was the only charge on my account before it was caught. I actually wasn't too upset about it, but it is still scary. I have always had my card with me and I only used my card in verified ATMs. Who knows how people get a hold of the numbers, but it happens and it seems like it is happening more frequently. So, just beware of your cards.
