Has anyone else had that happen?  It's actually nice that they did
check, it makes me feel safer using that card online.

It's probably not because you ordered online, it's because the charges are
coming from a different country than the one you're supposedly in. (This is
probably why the porn charges passed by on Larry's card.) When I had to use
my dad's card in England, they called him to verify that I was supposed to
be using it...


I guess it doesn't happen to everyone.  I used my VISA all over the place
last summer on a trip to Germany, France, Luxemborg, and Monaco -- if the
CC company had tried to call me at home to confirm, they would've been
talking to my answering machine!  Lucky for me there were no problems.
