my AMEX card was STOLEN!
yep come home last night after a 16hr day in hell, and rip into my mail listed "URGENT NOTICE" saying to my self "WTF?"
its a letter from amex stating all these charges for huge amounts that i had never bought. so i call the 1-800-amex fraud line and the next thing i know they are machine gunning the HELL out of me with mega mass purchases from FREEKING VIRGINIA! $1000's and $1000's of dollars worth!
as my SPHINCTER goes into SLAM SHUT MODE, i recover enough from this barrage of purchases to say........"but i live in arizona". i havent been to VIRGINIA since i was a kid and im 52!"
so we go thru all these charges and suddenly a charge comes up from late last month(june) to a motorcycle shop for $114 bucks for a FMF USFS approved silencer for my 1982 husqvarna. now i had not used this amex card anywhere else, i am a total anal arsehole about shredding my documents, i do not throw my statements in my dumpster, i dont use it on the internet but maybe 2-3 times a year if at all. i havent been to any bars in a long time, i havent been out of country or out of state, and i SURE AS HELL HAVENT BEEN TO FREEKING VIRGINIA!
so what the hell gives here? where i buy my motorsickle parts is from one of my employees here, when invoicing came to him he called me and i gave amex number over my work phone and he entered into his system. its not like this is some piss ant lil hole in the wall biker shop. its ride now powersports who is a freeking conglomeration of big money and mega multiple stores thruout the u.s.
so what the hell do you think happened?????
yes amex waived all the charges and they are sending me a new card overnight fed -ex.
