So, I have a card that I only use for this business. I checked on it today, thinking I would pay it down some - and discovered I had about $500+ in strange charges on the card, for things like bus tickets and European Skype credits

Sometime in the last two months somebody got the number, from somewhere, one of the places I make payments to do business, and then last month went crazy making lots of charges for things under $100 a charge.

I freak out, and start looking at all the statements, make sure I understand what is going on, then call the company stolen card department and go thru this long crazy routine with their rep.

Long story short, the card number is now blocked, I will have to go thru fraud processes, new account number started and new card coming, blah blah blah.

In the months before the charges on that card are very predictable and reliable. Godaddy, hosting, godaddy, hosting (colo), godaddy, hosting.

In feb I bought some European content thru segpay. I paid my UPS store mailbox fee.

One place I used the card that I am not all that certain about is domainnamesystems. And moniker. There is nothing else in the last year that seems like a possibility.

What a fucking hassle. Who knows what sort of bullshit I have yet to go thru with dealing with these charges with the CC company. The rep seemed nbice enough and was assuring me that I would not have to pay them, but who the fuck knows.
