Crooks and thieves and disreputable people. Hate them all.
Got a credit card fraud alert today. Some *%#!!/* jerk somehow managed to get our Discover card number and attempted to make two charges to our account. Discover is GOOD, shut them right down. AND our account, too. Oddly enough, just last week I mentioned to someone that Discover is so good they know you have a fraudulent purchase on your card even before it happens! Snap! I must have jinxed us.
The one funny take-away from this? The attempted big charge was for over $1500. Payee was "First Progress": "If you are looking for ways to build or rebuild credit, our full-feature Platinum MasterCard® is one of the best solutions available." The crook tried to roll over their balance from this company! Apparently, they haven't really grasped the concept of establishing good credit.
