Chase bank is REALLY on the ball

[kaitou]

Got a call today from Chase that they thought there was fraudulent activity on my credit card, and they closed my account. I'll get a new card in a few days. What really surprises me is that they were tipped off by 2 purchases, one for a song on iTunes...the rep said it was probably a test to make sure that their stolen info worked...and one for about $150 in tools. I really wouldn't have thought that either of those would have set off alarm bells. I mean...did they think 'hey this was for country music, and we know from our accounts that she doesn't listen to it?' Why that, and not when I spent $1000 on appliances when I moved into this house?

Still, I'm grateful that they were so on top of it, and caught it so quickly. Way to go, Chase.

What surprised and impressed me was our little local bank... we had some maintenance done on our roof and wrote the worksmen a check for their time and materials.

Apparently, they took it right to our bank to be cashed, and the bank called Nan to confirm that it was a legit check.

Yeep!~ (hope Harry has a sense of humor!)
