Well, I've got nothing to contribute to DBC at this time, but you do have my sympathies on the credit card fraud. About 25 years, I had credit card info stolen while traveling, back in the carbon-copy swipe machine days. A gas station was the only place I'd used that credit card while traveling through that town.
A month later the card number was being used repeatedly to charge around $100 at a time from the same used clothing store. It wasn't too hard to persuade the CC company and a police detective that I wasn't repeatedly mail-ordering used clothing, but I did get to talk to the detective a couple of times anyway. In retrospect, I expect the gas station clerk just copied down the info off the receipt and passed it along. I might have seemed a better target as an out-of-towner with a new car, perhaps less likely to check credit charges. That was an unsophisticated scam compared with what happens with ATM and credit card skimmers and the like these days.
