Quiet day until...

I went online to check our Visa account and found unknown to us charges.
Small, really small, insignificantly small, but not made by me or Hubby.

So I called the customer service number available from our bank 24/7 on the  back of our cards.
And the computer voice stated that our account had been compromised and that we will be sent new cards next week.

I already had a bellyache and could not finish dinner and this just made it feel that much worse, and I couldn't even take another Pepcid since it was too soon and my other tummy meds, the generic Nexiums seemed to have stop working.
I kept at the computer voices until they understood I wanted  to speak to an actual human.
And I finally got through.
The woman confirmed that our account had been or might be compromised and that is why they were sending us new cards next week?
I explained to the woman that we had just received new cards a couple of weeks ago and activated these computer chip safer ones on receipt via telephone and destroyed our old ones! 
She told me this account was closed on 4/9, two days ago!
I said what?????
That can't be right, we have been using our cards and they have gone through on every transaction!
Time to speak with a supervisor, so I asked her for hers and sure enough the first woman had our old destroyed cards confused with the new ones that we had now, and were fine!
Although, that computer message still haunts me; it had to be/ was incorrect.
They will/should fix it as well as the bogus charges that I was assured would, of course be removed. Little do they know how much time I have on my hands to check all this daily, ha!

I am currently lying prone in my bed with my laptop on my chest.
My tummy is sort of feeling a wee bit not as bad and so I will leave you for tonight with a thought to keep checking your accounts too, sadly too many have been compromised, but if we can check as often as possible perhaps these criminals will be stopped!

On that note of let's get them before they get us attitude allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all those overages with you know whom and we will too!

And next time please be here or be square, ya hear! 

Which way will the war go?
