Well actually this is the 2nd time in less than a year it has happened 
to me. Recently the first one was traced to a certain type of restaurant 
and there were 5 separate attempts to purchase items in 5 different 
cities in Mexico at the same time which is why the bank's contracted 
security authorization company declined them as I had just used my card 
10 minutes earlier in Lawrenceville. Make note I am not racist just 
stating the facts as presented to me
