mommy and daddy left me a note saying to call this 800 number to verify charges on my credit card. i guess the phone number on my account is still theirs.

it was almost funny when she went through the charges.

xx at dunham's? yeah...
xx at trop gun shop? yeah...
xx at entertainment services group? yeah...
xx at danny's sporting goods? yeah...
xx at red robin? yeah...

ok, thank you sir.

haw haw haw. so i'm a gun freak who buys dj equipment and eats at a burger joint. i think i used my visa too much yesterday and it set off one of their fraud alarms.

at least they're paying attention, tho <img src=smilies/thumb.gif>

Yeah that happens, I work as a casheir, and every now and then when we swipe a card, instead of saying 'declined' or just printing out the receipt, the credit card machine (actual technical name) says 'referral' and the store owner has to call the credit card company and let the customer agree to the charges made that day. Happens more than one might think.
