I just wondered why my credit card stopped working yesterday. My over-spending? Stolen data in the last Chinese restaurant? No - Google Answers!

Apparently many people with fraudulent intent are using the site to check the card (it is one of the few that do no address check) for a small amount and if the card goes through use it for online shopping.

So be careful when you ask questions at Google it might take your credit card out.
