I called my Chase Visa card's 800-number. They said I might want to double-check with my wife. So I did. She didn't do it either. I called back and spoke to them again. "Well, your card was swiped." (Implicit: you swiped it.) I offered that it's just as possible that somebody copied my account information to the back of a blank card. Anyway, all they could tell me is that the charge came from "Santa Clarita", but that could well have nothing to do with where the charge actually occurred. So, they said they're going to ask the vendor to produce the slip with my signature. We'll see how this pans out. I can't wait.

Its been my experience that dealing with Chase just isn't worth the hassle. I can't stand their customer service. Because of that customer service, I have two open, but inactive (the cards expired in 2002 and 2004), accounts with them and have no plans of ever reactivating the cards to those accounts.
