One of the downsides of having 43 credit cards is that you have a lot more credit cards that are subject to fraudulent use.  I’m actually not super concerned about fraudulent activity on my cards – in my experience, banks and credit card companies are pretty good at identifying and stopping fraud.  In fact, I get fraud-blocked for ACTUAL purchases way more than I get alerted for transactions that are NOT fraud.  I think the best thing you can do to prevent fraudulent transaction is to simply monitor the transactions on your card(s).  Recently I was exposed to a new fraud tactic – about 4pm last Wednesday I started seeing HUNDREDS of mail subscription emails and confirmations.

Why am I getting tons of mail…
