Credit card fraud

I spent three weeks in , probably my favorite country in the world, in March-April ’07. One negative occurrence on my trip — I had my credit card number ripped off somehow. Fortunately, Visa’s computer caught and prevented over $8,000 in fraudulent charge attempts in Seoul, Korea.

I couldn’t arrange to get a replacement card while I was there, but I did have a backup American Express card.
