Today I got what I call a “phishing phone call” from someone that I think was trying to scam me out of giving out credit card information to them. They claimed to be from SunTrust, but the caller ID simply said that it was “Out of area.” They were calling with the pretense of lowering my credit card interest rates, but in order to take advantage of the offer they wanted my credit card numbers and I wasn’t willing to share that with them and promptly hung up. What a waste of my time.

I think that I have decided to get a new credit card. My favorite store, Ann Taylor, has started offering free shipping off of their website if you use your Ann Taylor credit card. I have only had one credit card since I was sixteen years old. My parents always warned me never to get a credit card. They said that I should only use it for emergencies. They said that if I couldn’t buy something straight out, I didn’t need it. Anyway, I always use my clear wireless internet Reading connection to log onto Ann Taylor.com and do some shopping. They usually have a greater variety of sizes and have great sales. The shipping though is usually a flat ten dollars and fifty cents. That really is a pretty good bit of money. Unless I am going to order a lot of things ( over hundred and fifty dollars worth), ordering on-line doesn’t really make sense to me. I think that I am going to think really hard about getting the credit card. I think that I will use it a lot, get free shipping, and can turn around and pay off my account as soon as I use the card.
