A couple of years ago I received a call around 8 PM from American Express security asking if I had made a $7000 or so charge at a clinic near Atlanta. I told them that we were sitting in an RV park west of San Antonio and it was not a valid charge. They removed the charge from my account and sent me a new card.
The following month another call, this one regarding wife's Amex card. Someone had charged 100 or so mobileme subscriptions to her card within a very short time for a total of more than $10,000. Again we explained they were not charges and they were removed and a new card sent. A few days later another call. This time someone had charged $1500 or so to her original card at an Apple store in Denver. That charge was also removed.
No problems since then.
