My Sunday morning started out normally until I checked my email. I received a query from American Express about a charge on my credit card. They asked me if I had made the charge. I hadn’t. Pulling up my credit card statement online, I saw several others charges that weren’t mine. It was a few hundred dollars I couldn’t afford to spend. American Express was tremendous, and I’ll get a new card. I don’t understand why people try to use credit cards aren’t theirs. Two of the charges were for cloud storage. You know, as soon as the company providing the cloud storage finds out the transactions were fraudulent, they will lock out those accounts. It means whoever was trying to save money by using my credit card will lose everything they have stored on the cloud from that company. It doesn’t make sense. All the charges were related to computers and various computer-related accounts.
It’s a shame that someone intelligent enough to commit this kind of fraud doesn’t put that intellect to work in an honest manner.
