Yay for someone noticing BEFORE the charge went through!

well - for the first time yay! that i carry a high balance

apparently they went to one bank - tried to get out 5000. didn't work, so they went to another and tried for 4000. They gave up at 1000. thank goodness. since i had just made a $500 pymt

bad idea for them to dupe my card
they're lucky of there's $20 available on it
