    Don’t know more details, but I’m surprised he was able to use the card as long as he seems to have done. Once, I used my card to make a large purchase at a ‘big box’ store and then made two other purchases within an hour. The credit card company was on the phone with me the next day. (good for them) Another time, I had a ‘fistfight’ (not really) with a gas station pump that resulted in three transactions within one minute. My card was locked out until I made a phone call.
