Dear (Cardholder's Name):

As part of our commitment to protecting the security of your account, we continuously monitor for possible fraudulent activity. We need to verify that you, or someone authorized to use your account, attempted the following transaction(s) on your account ending in 0000:

MerchantAmountDateTimeLocation
TRIGGER$440.0104/01/201608:01 AMMILWAUKEE, WI

WALMART$304.9504/01/201608:01 AMMILWAUKEE, WI

If the dollar amount if not identical to what is shown on a transaction receipt, this may be due to a preauthorization which has not yet posted to your account.

The merchant location for internet transactions may be different than you expect as they are often cleared through a centralized billing location.

If you have already spoken with us about these transactions, then no further action is required.
