This is to alert everyone that has a credit card to always check your statement closely for purchases made by you or someone else.
My husband has a credit card that he rarely ever uses an never check it , he is a very unobservant man , I tell him this all the time. his last statement came with a purchase for $25.20 for an art purchase made in Va. I called the number an it was a private residence. I told him to call an check on it because the card was in his name. when he called. the man told him that he was selling at an art show that day an that he would check into it when my husband told him that he did not make the purchase. the shocker came when he called back an said that the purchase was made by a woman an would he mind if the lady called him. When she called they compared credit card numbers an they both had been issued the same number an the same expiration date by chase. Some woman called the next day an she had him read the numbers to her and she said Oh my God how did I do that? big apology.
I did not think that anything like this could happen, but it did so please take the extra time to check your statement, usually its just a purchase that you did'nt make but you would never think that someone out there might have the same identical number as yours.
