Pedro Libório23-Jul-2004 16:31

Melanie23-Jul-2004 15:10

Stu23-Jul-2004 10:15
All's well that ends well.

Gary Winters23-Jul-2004 02:58
OMG for a moment there I thought you were giving up credit cards! My heart skipped a beat! Good show, Robin. Nice shot and I'm glad all ended well.
Robin Reid23-Jul-2004 01:49
I caught it... I download my statements into Quicken.
Karen Leaf23-Jul-2004 01:33
Yikes, frightening thoughts! Did you catch it or M/C?
Can I borrow the sissors? Been using my M/C a ~little~ too much lately :)
Dawn22-Jul-2004 22:17
Ugh Bugh.. Sorry this happened to you hon..
Glad there's no panic involved tho!
Lou Giroud22-Jul-2004 19:51
Such things happen. I got mine blocked one day in Manila. They found a list of numbers in a gang they arrested and mine was in there.
Jill22-Jul-2004 19:15
This is so frightening. Identidy theft occurs everyday. Very careful where and when I use my cards.
Gayle P. Clement22-Jul-2004 18:56
Sorry, Robin. That's a frightening thing to have happen. I'd better go and examine my statement a little more carefully!
Robin Reid22-Jul-2004 18:54
Actually this is the 3rd or 4th time this has happene to me. It is a bit of a pain to get settled, but on the whole it has been a good experience each time. (But I'd rather not someoone rip off my card number, which I think happened at a restaurant back East!)
Guest 22-Jul-2004 18:42
Robin... nice shot! you shouldn't have any problems.. Reminds me to always carefully check the statement... I had charges show up from Thailand and i have never been there! The card co. took care of everything!
Guest 22-Jul-2004 18:34
oh no robin..... hope it works out ok!
penny roots22-Jul-2004 18:14

Guest 22-Jul-2004 18:11

Great shot!
Guest 22-Jul-2004 17:51

Si Kirk22-Jul-2004 17:35

Herb 22-Jul-2004 17:13

Guest 22-Jul-2004 17:08

Anne Young22-Jul-2004 16:59
Yikes. I hope everything gets straightened out!
Larry Ahern22-Jul-2004 16:57
That happens way too often now days. Convenience is the real devils playground.
