More Unauthorized Transactions

Here we go again: more unauthorized transactions on my HSBC credit card. This time the unrecognized charges include:

· ClickBank
· peopleperhour.com
· ccnow
· Amazon Payments
· iTunes.com

These are all telltale signs of people using a stolen CC to get money. I suspect iTunes is used to check if the card is active (by signing up for an account with it) and then the others are used to actually bill the card.

I guess it’s time to get a new credit card and number. Again. (I do wonder if this has something to do with the unexpected preauth-that-never-billed from Black Singles two and a half months ago.

UPDATE: New card issued. Yay. Time to change all my autobilling transactions.
