Was looking at my credit card bill, saw a charge for $1016 that I had no idea what it was?

Called Chase, I was told it was for some auto repair place in California! Since I live is Kansas this would be a problem, Chase told me to call.... Of course the number listed is disconected..

Now, Chase is putting the charge through there fraud division, I don't have to pay.... BUT, now I have to get another card (coming over night) and I have to change all my auto pay bills, and accounts like eBay, Expedia etc... What a pain in the butt!!

at least you noticed...but yeah, that does suck.

This happened to me last year, only I was in NYC and totally stranded without a bank to talk to. No access to money for two days!! Good luck man, its a real pain in the ass!

burgess,

I have some issues in the past on my Amex bills, so now on the first I go online and review BEFORE the statements hit... Usually the fraud amounts are small under $25 and they hope you don't notice or look closely, But over $1000? wow who wouldn't notice that?

I was charged for about $10.00 worth of Russian rubles from some exchange outfit about 5 years ago over Christmas. I suppose if they charged 1000s of credit cards a small amount over the Christmas holiday spending season, few would notice. I did. Didn't have to pay it.

neo,

There was one last year that charge like 24 cents to a couple of million cards!! Something like that, I don't remember the exact amount of cards charged, but it was pretty smart... It takes more time than its worth to ask for a refund!
