Banking Fraud Courtesy Call

Yesterday, right before leaving for work, I received an automated call from Bank of America telling me they had noticed a lot of activity on my VISA card in a variety of places lately and were calling to confirm that it was in fact me that had made all of these purchases. Granted, I did just buy an $800 guitar from an online store located in Oregon, a custom watch from Japan, and some Christmas presents from all over Atlanta, but isn't this the time of year when most people will be making their biggest expenditures? I mean, is it THAT odd that I would want to order some stuff from all over the place? Maybe this is an indication that I need to be more frugal? Not sure. Regardless, the whole fraud protection call went smoothly enough, and it didn't make me too late for my lessons...
