I don't usually do these sort of announcements, but if you've got your own credit card and you've bought anything online recently, PLEASE check your bank statements carefully and frequently.
I woke up this morning and checked my e-mail, only to find that I had an overdraft notice. When I checked my account, everything in my checking account, to the penny, had been charged to "DRI*ELEMENT5". This has happened to a lot of other people recently who have purchased things online.
I caught my problem the day it happened, and it was resolved fairly quickly by a call to the bank. But I want to make sure those of you making purchases online are aware of it, too.
Check your bank statement often, and make sure you are running anti-spyware software on your computer often.
I've learned my lesson.
