Last November, I got a text message from my credit card company notifying me about a $160.92 charge on my card. Within minutes, I got a text for another charge for $443.85.
I had signed up through my account online to receive alerts when transactions were made with my card. The alerts are sent as a text message as soon as a transaction is made. So when I got those messages, I knew something was wrong because I hadn’t purchased anything that day.
