Question re Google fishpond
Anyone ever get a strange $50 charge from them on your credit card with no identifying purchase so you have to cancel your card and get a new one due to possible fraud?

Are you sure this isn't the monthly fee from one of the porn sites you joined for the 30-day free trial and then forgot to unsubscribe?Beebs52 wrote:Anyone ever get a strange $50 charge from them on your credit card with no identifying purchase so you have to cancel your card and get a new one due to possible fraud?

Re: Question re Google fishpond
Sorry this happened to you.
I had someone try to use my card to buy hockey tickets, which the bank's algorithm rightly knew was not me, and they cancelled it. They overnighted the new card and I got it lesss than 24 hours after the text asking if this was me spending on the Las Vegas Golden Knights.
It was as painless as possible, though I guess it helps to have a goofy name that no one tries to steal, so this is the first time.

We've had cards compromised before but were notified. This was just weird.Ritterskoop wrote:Sorry this happened to you.

No algorithm needed. Any purchase of hockey tickets on my cards is fraud.Ritterskoop wrote:Sorry this happened to you.

That's what I was trying to say on mine as well. I dislike hockey more than any sport. It's cold in there and I can't see the puck.BackInTex wrote:No algorithm needed. Any purchase of hockey tickets on my cards is fraud.Ritterskoop wrote:Sorry this happened to you.

I was rightly spotlighted as not having gone on a shopping spree in Atlanta (I live near Boston), but no way did Mastercard overnight the replacement. It took 3 days FedEx.

Re: Question re Google fishpond
I only got it as fast as I did by begging that it go UPS or FedEx & that the last leg *not* be USPS. Several items I've bought online have been given to USPS for the last leg, which would be OK as I paid for cheapest shipping, except several times they pulled the "couldn't deliver" trick when I was home & waiting for my new clothes, & I then had to spend hours on the phone trying to get a guarantee they'd try again. I *never* have set up "signature needed".
