The Downside to Online Christmas Shopping...

We were so proud to be done with our Christmas shopping before the holiday rush and long lines, and a lot of that was due to shopping online.  

Apparently, the downside of online holiday shopping is that your credit card information can apparently be compromised, and the thief can purchase things like Match.com.  



And if that isn't bad enough, your husband calls wondering why you bought a subscription to Match.com and you're confused because you're happily married.   


You call and explain this to the bank, and now you're waiting 7-10 business days for your new credit card to arrive in the mail (yes, that means we will be without a credit card over the holidays. Joy)

You gotta feel sorry for the poor thief though--clearly he's desperate (or just looking for more people to scam..)
