I am so nervous now!! I was going to call when I get my new account to see if they can put some kind of safety measure in place for charges. For example, can I say, "OK, if $1,000 is charged in one day, I want to be notified." What really surprises me is that in March I went to Mississippi and shopped a little. When I returned I tried to use my card at a local store and it was declined. When I called to find out why, they said they thought my card may have been stolen because of the out of town charges so they had frozen it. But $10,000 in CA doesn't seem suspicious enough to freeze???? I never charge amounts that high in a couple of months, much less in two days!!
