People sure stay busy trying to cheat us, dont they??? A friend went to the local gym and places his belongings in the locker. After the Workout and a shower, he came out, saw the locker open, and thought to himself, 'funny, i thought I locked the locker. Hmm, 'he dressed and just flipped the wallet to make sure all was in order, Everything looked okay - all cards were in place. A fe weeks later his credit card bill came- a whooping bill of &14,000! He called the credit card company and started yelling at them, saying that he did not make the transactions. Customer care personal verified that there was no mistake in the system and asked if his card had been stolen. 'No,' he said, but then took out his wallet, pulled out the credit card, and yep - you guessed it - a switch had been made. An experied similar caredit card from the same bank was in the wallet. the thief broke into his locker at the gym and switched cards. Verdict: The credit card issuer said since he did not report the card missing earlier, he would have to pay the amount owed to them. Sucks isnt it????

That is really a smart way of stealing,good you posted this discussion I would be careful with the credit cards of mine. If you spent an amount it is all right but if someone takes it than it is a big loss.Thanks for posting this.
