big girl pants, cancelled, compromised, credit card, travel, WestJet, widow, withdrawal

about three weeks ago my credit card was compromised… someone tried to use it for a few things in the States…

the credit card company called and left a message… I called them back, using the number on the back of the card, instead of the one on the message in case it was a scam… 

sadly it had been compromised so they cancelled the card and couriered a new one to me within a few days as this is the only card I have…

lucky for me I only have one monthly withdrawal so was able to call them with the necessary information once the new card arrived…

just last week, I went to pay the credit card bill and realized I hadn’t added the new card… wasn’t sure about one of the questions when I tried to add it to the payees so called the credit union and they were able to add it while we were on the phone… excellent… 

so today, I get what I think is a similar phone call at the office, but didn’t hear the whole conversation so when I got home I checked for messages… and there it was another call from the Security department…

this is the situation my card is in now… compromised again…

the good news is that they are able to catch these activities quickly and be in touch…

the bad news is that I have to wait again for a new card… although now I am on top of all the things I have to do, lol… 

practice makes perfect;-)…

I’m worried that I am doing something wrong at my end, but the agent assured me that wasn’t the case… 

I am going to Ottawa in a few months and don’t want to have to go through this before, or during, my trip…

arghhhhhhhh…

computer, no Internet, no TV, withdrawal

stopped for gas on the way home and decided to pick up some wings while the tank was getting filled… had been a long day and I thought I deserved a treat… door was closed and locked… so, no wings for me…

got home to see that the power had been off sometime during the day, but was back on…

tried to go onto the Internet to order some supper, only to discover that the laptop wouldn’t connect… again…

then, realized that my phone wasn’t connecting either, sigh…

went upstairs to see if the problem was that the desktop computer needed to be turned back on…

as I walked into the computer room it smelled like burning rubber… computer would not turn on, was hot, and appeared to be emitting the smell… unplugged it…

thought – okay, I will just watch a little TV and then sort this out…

turn on the TV and get “Please wait while system reloads”… waited, nothing reloaded… called my daughter in Ottawa to look up the MTS phone number… can’t believe it wasn’t in my Contacts…

call MTS and get a message saying that the Internet and TVs are experiencing intermittent outages and they are working as fast as they can to fix the problem… reminds me way too much of how my day had gone at work!!!

never mind the dinner issue and the Internet problem and the (likely) dead computer… I have NO TV…. this is serious…

I heat up something from the freezer and eat it on the deck, play solitaire on my phone, top up the pond, water the plants and finally the Internet comes back up on my phone… yay, it’s fixed…

head inside to watch some TV… it still isn’t working…

phone MTS and get the same message…

wifi stops working…

have now turned off the wifi and using 3G to upload my post…

had enough… going to bed and hoping that everything will work then… although I don’t think that’s likely for the computer, lol…
