Hi all,

The same can be said for my credit card company as well.  Luckily, the party attempting to use my card made a very small purchase or attempted to do so.  I guess if one were to do this, a trial balloon had to be tried to see if it would work.  Luckily, they were on it and the card was changed.  I would say the problem was solved quickly!

Jim
