Watch your credit cards

Just a reminder to watch your credit cards at least once a week if not more often. Yesterday I realized mine had been hacked the day before. I was able to call my credit card company and get it cleared up immediately. They had only made two charges on it for around $200 total.

I am in a program where they monitor my credit; but this time, the card had been used fairly close to home. That meant that the charges looked legitimate . One charge was from a pop machine and the other charge was from a clothing store and it had a notation that the card was present. That was scary. It meant that somebody had taken the information from my card and created an entirely new card.
