Identiy Theft Well this Sucks!!
So 3 weeks ago I got spanking new credit card. decided it was time to buy my first Harness. Bought it online from some store in Oregon, I put the card
away not planning to use it again for sometime. Just got back from Vacation, got an email stating my card was on hold because of fraudent charges.
Apparently someone in Oregon tried to buy a Dell computer online for $647 bucks, another $243 bucks for Victoria's Secret . The Credit card is the
same bank as my debit card, and i used my debit card on vacation, thats how it got caught. thank god the charges never went through and i ain't
responsible for any of it. Oh and the name that cashed out my product on the recipt is "Jessica" just weird.. Well this sucks, cause anytime i
purchase something i gotta make sure they accept paypal. BEEEEEEEWAAAARRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!

you do have to be careful with all the random dudes making shops these days because it's so easy to do in its basic form now-anyone can do it, but to
make sure it's nice and secure takes a bit more time!
Glad you didn't get screwed over too badly! I hope Jessica got her underwear :D

Happened to us and the guy paid for a self storage unit, which had his name, address, phone number, and email all on record.
Shows you the level of brain activity these people have. He also bought some paint and fixed a chipped windshield. :puzzled:

i spoke to my bank the other day, they recommend setting up an account to use for online purchases, keep it empty until it's time to shop, then
transfer money into that acount from another account, second account isn't used for online bill pay or anything. You can have debit cards for each
account.
If you loose a card, then you can transfer all the money out of that account. She noted they are loosin loads of money honoring the anti-fraud
garauntees.
the ladies at my branch said there are a ton of stolen credit cards and debit card numbers that get stolen. We always ask for ID if we don't know
you, and online purchases are secured too! There are many ways to secure customer information...tons of precautions and a simple check with id or
billing info helps to!
