Mexican Commercial Furniture...
We got a call from a Commerce Bank representative tonight. He informed me that there were a couple of charges on our Visa Check Card that he didn’t think were ours. The last charge in the Kansas City area was at Spice of Life (the cafeteria where Julianna works — a place in which, earlier today, an ominous questions popped into her head: What if we didn’t have enough funds in our account to pay for this? What would I do? Weird, no?). Anyway, after the charge at the cafeteria, there were two more charges…in Mexico…for “commercial furniture.”
What is “commercial furniture” anyway?!
Here’s one link I found via Google (looks like regular, everyday furniture to me — and, yeah, I’m aware that “commercial” most likely means that you can by it by volume — I’m trying to be sarcastic here).
But in Mexico?!
Sure, why not.
Now, we’ve got to go through the ordeal of cancelling our cards and getting new PINs, etc. Ugh.
So… Thanks, Commerce Bank, for catching the fraudulent charges.
Update: After talking to the bank today, I found out that there was a third charge to a restaurant, called “Darma,” for $87. At least they ate well.

I’m still trying to figure out how they used our card number at a restaurant if they didn’t actually have a card on them… Can you just give the waiter a number?
