The $9.84 charge is a scam.  This is not new but a reminder.

I read the story. I guess I am anal, but I keep all my cc receipts and when my statement comes in/or print online I match every one of them to what is on my statement. No way to overlook unauthorized charges that way. Maybe some folks just don't check theirs that close - must be the bookkeeper in me

I disputed a charge in January that I didn't make.  I had dealt with the vendor previously and since they sell tickets and merchandise, I had probably stored the credit card for ticket purchases.  This was for a merchandise charge, which I did not make.  It was made the day we put my mother in to hospice and the last think I was doing that day was buying merchandise online.

The credit card company has done their fraud investigation, issued me a refund and new card.  Called on Friday and said the final determination had been made and the charge is not mine.  

I am totally anal when it comes to my credit cards and bank accounts.  I check them daily for this very reason.

I once had a Best Buy debit card purchase go through 22 times.  Best Buy and the bank blamed each other.  It could have gone through about 10 times and been fine, but by going through 22 times, it overdrew the account.  Thankfully, the bank refunded everything except for the one correct charge.  This was right after my bankruptcy way back when now and the only thing I had was this debit card and this checking account.  It was then that I decided to get a secured credit card for such purposes.
