Adventures in modern banking:
Notice two pending transactions on my credit card statement for almost the exact same amount (one cent difference) from a vendor I have never heard of, done on a day that I didn't use my card. Lock the card since I can't report them until they are posted transactions. Wait two days, report transactions. Card is suspended pending investigation which 'may take more that five business days due to high volume of frauds'. Get email less than five minutes later saying they are sending me a new card which should be here in a few days. Will need to contact any companies that I have recurring payments with. Would have had to do that soon anyway since old one was expiring in less than two months.
Fun times.
