Mini Fraud

This morning on the way to work Daniel took the time to check his voice mail (something he rarely does). As we listened to it on speaker phone, one of the messages was about recent activity on a credit card we have not been using. Stating that we should call immediately to make sure identity fraud was not occurring.

So Daniel called the bank and sorted everything out. Evidently someone tried to use our credit card number to buy $1 worth of records at a local record store. Also purchases of less than $5 were attempted on iTunes and Napster. Since we had not been using the card the bank noticed the oddity and called us. Thankfully none of the purchases went through or were of significant amounts. This does make me wonder if such fraud would pass through, undetected, if we had been using the card regularly...

In other thoughts, the partners at Daniel's company have convened for a meeting this week. Since it is not the end of a quarter, we can only assume the worst (3 past meetings such as this have been followed by lay offs).

We are not sure what to think. We just keep praying that Daniel's job will be secure, while knowing nothing seems to be secure these days.
