Interesting article on the SMH site today:
http://www.smh.com.au/news/national...the-wrongplaces/2005/10/15/1128796715495.html (registration might be required)
In part:
"A growing number of cardholders is being told by banks that their cards have been cancelled because they have used them in cities or countries identified by software as hotspots for fraud. But the banks will not publish blacklists to warn customers in advance, because it might reduce credit card use."
So, watch out!!
My card has been flagged for "suspicious" transactions a few times. Never while overseas though...
