I got a good screwing last year from two different credit cards. I rarely use credit cards to pay for something over the phone. But, when you need it fast you have no choice. I gave my credit card number over the phone to order some parts for a machine.
Two weeks later, the credit card CO let some AH charge 14,000.00 worth of rugby shirts on that card. I didn't find out until I got my statement in the mail. It was easy for them to trace since I had only used the card twice in the last year. Turns out the guy I placed the parts order with was the crook. He sold the info to some other bum. After two months the credit card company finally gave me a 14K credit on the card.
Then about a month later, I open a statement from another credit card and find a charge of 16,000.00 worth of custom embroidery T-shirts and caps. One would think that the credit card company would call me to verify such a strange purchase. The T-shirts were even shipped to an address in a foreign country. Once again, I hadn't used this card but twice in a years period. The credit card company told me not to worry they would take care of it. I had a zero balance on the card before the scam. Their computer kept sending me late notices with interest on the 16K for next few months.
Every time I called them up about the matter, they told me not to worry. I was banned from calling them the third time because of my "threatening voice and language." I finally had to bring in my attorney to settle the mess.
If finally got cleared up, but it cost me 880 bucks in attorney fees.
