Default Speaking of computers ...

Just got a call from Mrs.E. Seems someone got a hold of one of her credit
card numbers and ordered themselves a $3000.00 laptop from Bestbuy.com.

Something must have tripped a flag because Bestbuy called her and asked if
she had placed the order. They then cancelled the order and recommended
that Mrs.E. call the credit card company, cancel the card and have a new one
issued, which she did.

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.
