Frank Van Buren has a credit card through ExxonMobil. His card was due to expire soon, so he contacted them to get two copies of his card. I guess they decided that two wouldn’t do it for Van Buren so in addition to the two he ordered, they sent him two boxes of 1,000 cards each!

All I can say after reading this story is how did this happen? Thank goodness both boxes made it to the correct destination. ExxonMobil is looking into they mix-up, and hopefully their response makes the news because it will be interesting to read.

    You go to be kidding…as Zac said that’s scarry and funny at the same time.

    It is funny but why on earth did he decide to shred them all himself when all he would have to have done was call the company to void that account from any new activity and rush him a second card with their utmost appologies.

  5. Tricia responded:

    Donna - very good point!

    He also could of had some fun with the cards and made 2,000 boomerangs :)
