Subject: [Leica] Credit Card Fraud

Just a heads-up.  I received a call this morning from the card service 
agency that processes my Visa charges, asking me to review some recent 
charges to establish their legitimacy.  They had noted a charge that raised 
a flag, but I don't know how they detected it.

It turns out that, over the weekend, someone got my card number and made a 
fraudulent charge to the account, for the amount of $385.01.  I suspect it 
resulted from my use of the card with internet merchants, though I also use 
it around town.

I have canceled the card and initiated actions to remove the charge from my 
account.  This is my first encounter with this type of thing, though I knew 
that it is not too uncommon.

Keep an eye on those accounts!
