  • Flagged for High-Risk Activity

    | | TrackBacks (0)

    We now have three brackets from Restoration Hardware. We were charged a different price for each of these three brackets. Long story short, we should be getting credit for one bracket which we don't need/didn't order and shipping refunded on the other completing the set we needed.

    In the process of all of this I logged into my Citibank Credit Card account to see if we had been refunded the shipping we were told we were being refunded last week. (We hadn't been.) However, I was greeted with a nice red, bold message "A review of this account has shown recent high- risk activity. Please contact our Customer Service Unit ..."

    Uh Oh, that can't be good. Now every time we buy a computer, we get home and there is a message on the answering machine from Discover wanting to verify we made the purchase. Yes, slightly annoying, but we don't use our Discover Card that much and a computer is a fairly large purchase so I'm willing to deal with that. I'm curious about my high-risk activity message, but thinking it can't be that serious since they didn't call. I decide to search the web for my message before calling, and find a couple of blog posts which lead me to believe, it's nothing major. I call Citibank. The high-risk activity was apparently two $22.00 charges from Dave & Busters last night. Awesome.

    We had met up with Patrick and his wife Marsha last night. Chris (and I) had worked with Patrick back at ORBCOMM and hadn't seen them since our wedding and who knows when before that. It was nice having the opportunity to catch up. Hopefully it won't be another three years before we see them again.
