Arrrrgh! My credit card company called me earlier to report some fraudulent charges. I'm glad they did, but it really cranks me that someone stole my number. Luckily, the credit card company won't charge me anything. The thief started off just charging a couple small things - a NY Times on-line subscription and a song on iTunes, and then tried to charge two sets of train tickets in Rome. That's when they were caught, the card was suspended, and they called me. Bugger!

So I'll remind all of you out there in Blogland to regularly check your credit card statements before you send in the payment check. And now that you can get a free credit report each year, do so every year to check that no one has stolen your identity. (I'll add the link once I find it.)
