of
attempted authorizations from an online company called "Gamehouse".
Apparently the charge did not go through because they did not have the
correct expiration date.

If anyone has a Citibank visa or mastercard, their Fraud Early Warning
telephone number is 1.800.473.8016. They will close your account and
reissue the card. I would suggest giving them a call to see if your card
has been compromised.

Yikes! That kind of thing makes me so angry. It is such a nuisance having attempted authorizations from an online company called "Gamehouse".

I believe this was the line item on my USAA Visa bill, for $300. I called
and
it turned out to be an online gambling site. I was credited the amount
and
issued a new card with no hassles.
