This isn't a good idea. Your credit card company will call you when you have unusual charges. I use one of my credit cards for business and they are always calling me to verify transactions. They won't ever ask you for your whole credit card number, but they might verify it with the last 4 digits or something like that. Then they'll say "We had an unusual charge for $5000 from Joe's House of Brie" or whatever it is and they'll ask you to verify the charges. If you just hang up on them, they will SHUT YOUR CARD OFF until you contact them.

If you really want to know what to look out for, don't trust me, or Mike, or eracer99. Go to citibank.com or mbna.com or visa.com or mastercard.com and read their warnings. This speculative BS on the internet is really annoying. This whole thing started from the equivalent of a chain letter and here we are 10 posts later still stuck on the thread, despite the fact that the original post was BS. Come on people, just say no. Just let this one die.

i was just passing on info.... jeez.....

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be an arse about it or insult you personally, but the information is BS, plain and simple.
