After arriving in Miami we went to pick up a rental car, but there was a problem with my credit card. My credit card company said there was a suspicious $800 charge at a Walmart near Orlando, FL two hours prior. I told them I didn't charge anything at Walmart and haven't been near Orlando in years. My credit card company pestered me "Are you SURE you didn't go to a Walmart today? Did another authorized user of your credit card go there?" She said the card had been physically swiped. I told her I had the card in my possession and my wife was with me and we had been flying all day except for a layover in Saint Louis where I used the card at the airport Chili's restaurant. I have a strong suspicion that someone from that Chili's is engaged in identity theft. About two years ago I had my first case of credit card identity theft. Someone used my credit card to sign up for online p*rn. Interestingly, this was immediately after a trip to Hawaii where I used my credit card at the LAX airport Chili's! Conspiracy theory alert!
