I had $15000 (roughly) put on my credit card by someone buying airline tickets in Malaysia. The bank got involved the same day when the perpertrators tried to exceed the credit limit and cancelled the card immediately. They gave me a new card and I went to the bank to see what it was all about. In two days the debt was cancelled. Next they repaid the money into my credit card twice. I fed all the data into my computer but I could not work out how they figured this out. I suddenly had a Credit card balance of +$30000. Boo! hoo! When I tried to get at it I could not withdraw or transfer it. It took about 2 months to finally get sorted out but in the mean time I got 50000 award points (about $200 worth). When it was all sorted out I lost about $40 in the credit card a/c but gained the award points worth $200. The inconvenience was minimal.
