<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Alegandron, post: 5217125, member: 51347&quot;]All is good (well...ok) Because of a lot of international travels for the last 40 years, I get hit with CC fraud once to twice a year. CC’s usually contact me. They have my spending habits down pat, and will call me if it does not seem correct.&nbsp; They usually FedEx me a new card and account number within a day or two. Unfortunately, I am not traveling anymore, but the fraud keeps coming...</p><p><br /></p><p>This one was my wife’s account at Walmart, but she also had one of my CC in the account. She was hit, I was hit, but WMUS reversed the charges, as the CCs ( and my wife’s bank account) were not in the buyer’s name, nor was it from an area of the country that we would normally visit.&nbsp; I always use a CC for a $1 purchase or more because they are protected and can be disputed.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is an odd year for me. I have had my card replaced 3 times for various fraud reasons. And I am not using the cards as much anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>I suggest that anyone set alerts in your bank accounts, and any spending cards to send you an email and text for any purchase above 0.99 (local currency).&nbsp; Set alerts for everything: online purchases, debits, credits, overseas purchases, card not present purchase, etc. Better to delete the texts and emails, rather than miss a fraudulent transaction. With all the hacking going on, the thieves are thick.</p><p><br /></p><p>Perhaps we can redirect each of our nations’ Special Forces to go after the world’s Hackers and Trolls rather than for military and political reasons... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a tough-to-find coin of the Mercenary Revolt / War against Carthage. Carthage would not pay their Mercenaries after the First Punic War with Rome. Uh-oh, THAT was a major bad no-no. It turned in to an UGLY war, with inhumane actions, even by Ancient war standards...</p><p><br /></p><p><b><img src="https://www.cointalk.com/attachments/upload_2020-6-29_23-15-14-png.1138695/" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></b></p><p>Carthage-LIBYAN UPRISING - Mercenaries issue</p><p>Mercenary War 241-238 BCE</p><p>7.36g AR DiShekel</p><p>Herakles Head in Lion&#039;s Head-</p><p>Lion walking; Punic M above; LIBYA below</p><p>R SNG Cop 240f</p><p>Overstrike</p><p>Coins were struck in the name of Libya and &quot;M&quot;, which has been taken as either &quot;machanat&quot; - the Camp (of the mercenaries), or perhaps Matho, their leader[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
