Hesitating. The few hints about the statement dac are awfully tantalizing!

[size=medium]My credit card co. froze my account and sent me an email telling me to [/size][size=medium]call them right away[/size][size=medium].[/size]
[size=medium]When I did, they said there had been recent suspicious activity regarding the account.[/size]
[size=medium]It seems some company called 'schit’ had posted a transaction in an amount higher than typically seen by the account. They wanted me to confirm that I was aware of the purchase and it was in fact a legitimate purchase. [/size]
[size=medium]True story, I schiit you not![/size]
[size=medium]I am still laughing to myself hours later.[/size]
This doesn't mean that banks will flag an account just because of Schiit. Banks are stupid. I once bought postage stamps at the post office (run by the government!) and got a call for verification! I swear that if I bought a Twinkie in another state my bank (Chase) would want to verify it.
Every time I buy something from Japan I get a call for verification. It's not a service, but more like harassment. I've had my Credit Card info stolen once and they never caught the bad transactions.
I felt bad for the poor girl on the other end of the line.
She is like, "Yes Sir, there is a charge from a company called SH.....ahhh.....Sheeee......errr...ah.....i'm not sure how to say......shhhhhyyyy".
I politely interrupted, but only after I left her floundering for longer than I should have, curmudgeon that I am. At least I did not laugh out loud at her.
I told her, "It is OK. And yes, it is pronounced just like you think. Don't worry. It is an honest company & I am aware that the order was placed".
