While it can waste a little bit of my time, I would appreciate the call. I also appreciate it when a clerk asks to see photo ID when I use a credit card.
+1 When the data breach at Citibank happened last year, they blocked a "large" out-of-pattern attempted charge. Thank goodness because it was in fact fradulent. I appreciated it because I didn't have to fill out paperwork, send it in, and then nervously wait for Citibank to remove the charges..
