Hi, I found out that my mbna card was used in Austrialia while I was in Toronto! I don't know how to prevent this!

Umm...first would be to call your CC company and tell them about it...

Hi, I found out that my mbna card is currently being used in Austrialia while i'm in Toronto! I don't know how to prevent this!

How did you find that out (you said "is currently being used")? I assume your credit company told you that. That means it is already prevented.

So, it was used and is not currently being used.

dont worry...99.99% chance you'll get the money back.

This happened to me twice...2 UK transactions billed in US$ appeared on my CC statement.

There was a phone number for the company which I callled and it was bogus.

Notified CC company and within 3 weeks all my charges were reveresed.

You may want to change your credit card number.
