"I was thinking about getting off on demand, but it sounds like I should be glad that I didn't"
One time my ex's CC number was stolen and they spent $500 at Louis Vuitton. He couldn't even pronounce Louis Vuitton! LOL It wasn't hard to get the charges reversed.
I got a notification that 968 had been spent at Teavana.com because I have text alerts set up so if anything over 200 comes out, they let me know. As I was on the phone with the bank waiting to speak with someone, their fraud department called to have me approve or deny some other charges and that's when I found out about the over 1200 attempt at a grocery store. I denied those so it never came out, but the teavana order did so we filed a claim and I'll see that back in 3-5 days.
Fuck me. I'm going underground.
well thank the lord that they notified you and it will all be returned. i'm sorry, though. it fucking sucks when that happens to you.

Those fancy tea sets can be costly.
I'm glad you got notified and hopefully, it will all get straightened out immediately. My debit card info got stolen twice within a year even though I was being really, really careful and it was so inconvenient because I have things that were being charged to the card automatically.
My BFF noticed her CC missing from her wallet and called. They say to her, "Oh, so you're not at the Apple store trying to buy two new Mac Books?" Um, NO. They actually caught the fuckers while they were still in the store!
how is it even possible to spend that much at TEAVANA.
did the bank contact you first? or did you notice these first?
I once went into TEAVANA with the purpose of getting the tea they were sampling. When I was done the bill was somewhere near $120. My jaw dropped and I was in SHOCK! (Keep in mind I didn't even own any thingy ma-gigy's to even brew the loose leaf tea.) I can see how the price can sky rocket quickly!
Yuck. Earlier this week I found a bunch of charges on my debit card coming out of Mexico. Fortunately Citi had already sent me a new card I hadn't activated, so I was able to cancel immediately. Still waiting for everything to get refunded.

GOOD.
Want to hear the funny part?
They took ONE card out of her wallet. But then rearranged other cards so it didn't look like one was missing. EXCEPT, BFF always keeps her cards in a specific order, so she knew immediately that something was off.
I am sort of shocked that a first time charge of ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS on TEA didn't trigger the unusually spending fraud alert. AmEx once set a fraud alert on me for buying a $600 pair of shoes at Bloomingdales. Which was not unusual in the least - I shopped at that Bloomingdales frequently - but did result in DH getting a helpful call telling him I was buying overpriced shoes. So. I am surprised my shoes caught someone's attention but, oh no, $1k on tea. That's NBD.
