My grandparents had someone try to run up charges on their credit card last year. My grandpa is quite the Internet/computer guru these days and he monitors their cards very closely. A few charges popped up, something like $3. He called right away and the card was cancelled. After that, the card company said the person tried to charge a more expensive item, and of course it didn't work. Apparently a thief will charge something cheap just to see if it works and then charge more $$$. Scary!
