I was on my way to Dallas this week when I stopped for fuel when my credit card was declined at two petrol stations. This was followed by an email by my bank to call them in regards to a fraud alert. I call them and check my online statement:
1) attempt made to buy EasyJet tickets (successful, but bank already refunded) out of the UK
2) attempt made to buy something from Groupon out of Johannesburg, South Africa
3) attempt made to buy airplane tickets on Air Canade out of Canada
This was all on the same day, and all online of course.
