What's this?

Yep, few years back, I used mine at BBQ place and later got a charge of $1

from San Francisco. Credit card Co said they were probably just testing it out. Anyway, they cancelled the charge and replaced my card with a new one. Pretty sure some creep at the restaurant sent the charge card no. to a friend in SF. They recently went out of business.

I usually pay in cash at restaurants, just to avoid this type of fraud. -- EDGEMAN 07/30/2020 10:36AM

That's considered "normal" in Europe -- Tafkam Hokie 07/30/2020 10:14AM
