Today as I was watching a Nature program I had recorded, I got a phone call. I answered it and was greeted by a robot voice. Before I could hang up, the robot identified itself as being a fraud alert on my Citibank credit card. It said there had been some suspicious activity on my account and asked me to verify two recent transactions. The first was for $10 at Kroger (which, because robots is stupid, it just called "grocery supermar"). The second was for a couple of thousand dollars at "veterinary specialists" for Katie's operation. Oooohhhhh . . . I said it was okay, but I'm glad that got their attention.
