No but i also was the victim of credit card theft, credit card was stolen out of the mailbox. It was a gas credit card and at the time no activation necessary. Contacted the credit card co. and proved by my past usage that it wasn't me racking up all these new charges in Wash. DC and Va. and they cleared the charges off odf my bill and turned it over to their security people and issued me a new acct. # and card.
