I was the victim of credit card fraud back in 1999 -- someone at the graduate school admissions office was scamming SSNs from student applications. It was obviously not my card, not my fault; the credit card company absolved me of all liability. I was advised to put a warning in my credit report mandating that I be contacted at the listed telephone number before any credit cards could be issued.

Wouldn't work for me; I routinely buy things online that are in the multiple thousand dollar range. (Like airfare to India.) I know what the policy of my credit card company is, and I am comfortable with that. It's my
only credit card.
