and when i asked Fraud squad with the bank that contacted me if i should refrain from using CC he said no, is a way of the world life would be too difficult without.
He explained that 2 weeks before you travel to let the bank know and they will keep an eye on the card for the dates you are away and then if it is accessed after you have returned they will know it was not you.
I have posted this before and is in archives if you need more info.
