President’s Hee Haw

People always say that when you are on holiday switch off your cell phone. It is such a disturbance.

I was on holiday last week and carried my phone with me everywhere I went. When I went to the pool I had it in my bag and left it in my bag alongside the pool. On that particular day whilst I was in the pool my phone rang twice and I had to climb out of the pool to answer it.

At the time we were socialising with some people we had befriended. They also mentioned that I should not have brought my phone along as it is a disturbance.

The second time my phone rang I climbed out of the pool and answered it.

The person on the other end of the line introduced herself as a bank employee from the credit card crime and fraud division. She asked me if I was in the USA. I replied negative. She said that my credit card was being used in the USA and gave me two amounts for which it was used. She told me that she putting a block on my card and no further transactions will go through my account.

My card was in my possession but it had been cloned.

I wonder what would have happened if I had not answered my phone on that occasion.
