I wished I could have issued Letters of Demand, Infringement Notices etc "To Whom It May Concern" back in my Customs life. It would have all been so much easier.

I just got the exact same email

My Citi credit card got skimmed somehow, somewhere, in Greece.

Had only used it online for travel purchases before going to Greece (ferry tickets, and a couple of Viator day tours), and for a couple of domestic direct debits. Then I took it to Greece, and only used it at supermarkets, some official attractions (old historic stuff), and petrol stations.

A few weeks into the trip - within 5 minutes I get a couple of SMSes with codes for $1300 transactions while I'm on a hike (said it was from the same vendor - some European energy company, apparently), followed by a $10 Zara online transaction that got automatically blocked by Citi - who pulled the plug on the card.

No damage done - none of the transactions went through thankfully. But still, could you believe there's someone shonky in Athens or Crete?
