Someone was using her credit card number to purchase things. Luckily my aunt noticed soon after the person at started using her card. She contacted her credit card company and shut down the card as well as explained the situation. The credit card company refunded charges on the card made by the thief. Even though the situation was not ideal, she was able to work it out with the credit card company. ]]> 2017-01-18 18:25:11 UTC https://padlet.com/lilladvoraczky/wuzkb3p52xgj/wish/147905905 lilladvoraczky https://padlet.com/lilladvoraczky/wuzkb3p52xgj/wish/147929804 2017-01-18 19:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/lilladvoraczky/wuzkb3p52xgj/wish/147929804 lilladvoraczky https://padlet.com/lilladvoraczky/wuzkb3p52xgj/wish/147930002 2017-01-18 19:31:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lilladvoraczky/wuzkb3p52xgj/wish/147930002 lilladvoraczky https://padlet.com/lilladvoraczky/wuzkb3p52xgj/wish/147930149 2017-01-18 19:31:55 UTC https://padlet.com/lilladvoraczky/wuzkb3p52xgj/wish/147930149
