Someone went hog wild over the past few days and bought gobs of things using my Discover card. I got a letter from them about it; they had been trying to call but mysteriously I did not get any of their messages on my cell phone, although they did have the right number. Anyways, since I had not used it for quite a while, they were a bit suspicious, but I guess they let a few go through because it was the holidays after all.
Fortunately, I am not responsible for any of the charges, although they said around $600 did get through. All the charges were via online purchases. I dunno how they got my number. Perhaps they swiped some of my mail.
Arrrr.
