I wonder if they can track who placed the order, since it was apparently
done on-line.
I also wonder what flags them to call and confirm the order.
You have to be careful out there.

They always save the IP number of where the credit card order was
placed, but if they use a public access computer that does not require a
log in, they won't be able to track them down. That is why most public
library require you to log on before you use the computers.

I would think Best Buy could grab them when they come in to pick up the
computer.

I had someone write over $8000 worth of credit card checks to pay off
their credit card balance on a different card. Obviously they were
using a stolen credit card and were trying to keep it valid for awhile
longer. I have also had charges from Turkey and Eastern Europe appear
on my card.- Hide quoted text -

When the charges from the bar and the "massage parlor" come through, I
always tell my wife that somebody must have stolen the card. Again.


That's my story and I am sticking to it.
