<prompt> Human: Just seems really inefficient. Years ago I had a card stolen in the mail and somebody immediately ran up 5000 worth of jewelry charges in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. That I understand; getting my credit card number and buying ONE movie theater ticket in Costa Rica in December, and 6 at a rural Wisconsin motel in February - that I dont understand. What the hell do you spend 6 on at a motel, anyway?Yes I had the card cancelled and the charges refunded already. Im just curious what the point is of this kind of tiny fraud.EDIT: Actually I didnt notice the Costa Rica movie, so that could have been a test, but for whatever reason my CC company noticed the motel charge and called emailed me immediately about it. For 6, in a state I have been to.  <response>: Assumptions are two-fold:1. Your CC information was stolen and sold to multiple people hence the disparate geographic locations2. People were basically soft-testing your CC to see if it would work. Rather than buying 100s or 1000s in products that raise red flags, they make small purchases to see if they can get away with it. No one will alert the police over a fraudulent 6 transaction, like snacks sold by a motel front desk.
