How worried should I be...

...that a $9.00 charge just showed up in my checking account, made to the Split Diamond Ranch in Webster, North Dakota, which is a long way from Boston.
I don't know what this charge is for.
I Googled and found a Split Diamond Ranch in Montana. They sell Black Angus bulls.
I don't eat meat. My yard is quite small. I don't think the dogs would like to share it with a bull. I'm quite sure Mr. Unlost Dogs doesn't want a bull. I understand they are quite smelly.
The bank can't trace it yet because it's processing and probably won't post until tomorrow. At that time they can identify whoever is submitting it. But they helpfully warned me that sometimes, thieves will first post a small amount to see if the card works, then they'll follow the $9 swipe with a $900 swipe.
I've been advised to sit tight until it posts and then figure out if I can recognize it. If I don't, submit a form to get the $9 back, and then get a new card.
So I'm worried. But how worried should I be?

It is good that your bank are on track with it ... they should be able to sort it out and cancel your card.Good luck
You'll only be liable for $50.00
just hope they're small-time crooks and only after your money not your ID
A friend of mine had someone charge flights on her card, but as soon as she contacted the bank they stopped the payment so she wasn't liable.
Hope all is well.

they are doing this to probably 300 other ppl.
9x300... a decent days wage.
you're on the ball though.
nicely done.
i couldn't balance a fly's checking account if i tried.

i check my account every few days.
I set up the account to email me immediately when the card is swiped remotely. I've been happy with that, and impressed with the bank's security. When I was at the PJ show in Boston, I went a little crazy with the merchandise and as I was heading to my seat I got an emails saying they were putting a hold on my card because of unusual activity (the merch) and to please contact them right away. They sorted it out within minutes, after assuring it was me, and yes, I was buying all that stuff.
This, however, seems very weird (even for me).
And BD: For $9 at this ranch I'm guessing you could buy a hoof. Now that I think of it _ don't you frequently grill burgers poolside on the weekends? :problem:
:shock: Split Diamond P Bar Ranch :shock:
How did that get past me?!?
P Bar?? Is that like a mans portable toilet?
Excellent point. Perhaps I shouldn't be looking hard at Mr. Black Diamond...or, perhaps he has an accomplice who is a noted bass player.
Is there a drummer available for Panicked Toast, I'm still looking for one.
Thank you. They must have rhythm, a bull is no good without rhythm.
or start eating meat i say ...get your moneys worth

PJ note, the night before the fraudulent purchases, I used the card to buy a PJ MSG 1 poster from Amesbros. Somehow, someone got my info....there was a virus or trojan on my computer that fed them my info
Don't think I didn't notice that you conveniently were "on vacation" when this unfolded.
It was a crime of "convenience".
