It doesn't work exactly that way. The card issuer relies on /you/ to
say whether the charge is genuine--after all, who else knows? They
can't go by location--I order stuff from (Western) Europe quite often.
If you tell the issuer that the charge is fraudulent they will cancel
the card and send you a new one. I've had new debit cards delivered
with from four hours to 48 hours.

It's easy to make a valid purchase and then have it appear under an
unexpected name. If I make an out-of-the-ordinary purchase on-line I
record the date, time, and amount. It would be embarrassing to deny a
legitimate charge through an error. Then, too, one sometimes receives
an e-mail from the vendor saying that your purchase from me, John Doe,
will show on your CC statement as Billy Bob (because Billy Bob, Inc.,
processes CC transactions for John Doe).

I agree with almost everything that you have said and almost everything that
you will say in your entire life.
