wow, sometimes the system works

This morning I got a call from a credit card company, for a card that I don't use much anymore. They wanted to verify a $850 transaction for bestbuy.com. Of course, I hadn't tried to buy anything from bestbuy.com. By the time I called them back, there had been several other attempted purchases: on sears.com, iTunes, and Snapfish.

Thanks to the fraud monitoring software, none of the transactions had been approved, and the card already had been disabled. After I called, they immediately cancelled the card and put a new one in the mail. Pretty cool.
