Thanksgiving Got Off to a Rough Start...

I have notifications turned off on my cell phone between 10pm and 6am. unless they come from someone on my favorites list. I've gotten one too many phone calls/texts at 3am from a scammer claiming to be a friend who needs to be bailed out of jail. None of my friends would likely find themselves in that position. I always tell the scammers they can rot in jail.

But I digress. It is because of those ****ing scammers that I woke up this morning to a 3 am text message from my credit card provider asking if I was attempting to use my credit card at a White Castle. I think the closest White Castle is over 100 miles away, and I wasn't at one at 3am. Suspecting this is another scam, I call the number on the back of my credit card to find out that this has in fact happened.

So great, my main credit card has to be cancelled the day before Black Friday and I'll get a replacement in a week. I have a backup credit card, but its in my name only. This means that now I have to accompany my wife and lug my kids around for Black Friday shopping.

****ing scammers.
