My DH's credit card was compromised today. The fraud alert messages come to me since I typically deal with all the accounts. I called but they won't talk to me - turns out he wanted to be primary on this account so they had to talk to him. His face had a funny panicked expression when I passed the phone over. They had to send a text message to confirm his ID - to my cell phone as it's the number of record.

I read it off so he could tell the lady from the cc company. He'll get a new card in a couple of days. No clue how it was compromised or why the transaction was flagged (although it was a weird amount $16.32 for gas?). At least it was caught.
