I have a new card, so I think I contained the damage there. Just a real head-scratcher.
yes, it sure seems to be. It's odd to me that the fraudulent charge appears to have come from SP, they are huge company operating many lots, including MWAAs parking lots since late last year, and many other transportation services. CC fraud usually comes from small fly-by-night folks, not from large companies with LOTS to lose by engaging in such petty shenanigans. But maybe its just appearing to come from SP - the name might be spoofed similar to caller ID. But the CC companies dont really give a hoot because they make so much money that the fraud is just small potatoes and not worth their effort to investigate and clean it up. Similar to how enormous retailers do not care how much gets robbed from a register - no matter how much is taken the company will take in many times that amount in the next minute.
