And before Las Vegas and California, these financial adventurers were from????????
Got a call one time from Citibank asking if I had bought a PC at dell. I said, no. They told me my card had been used to buy it and after I told them it was in my possession, they told me to destroy it and they would send me a new one. I asked what were the details here as I was an LEO for NY. Told me it appeared a group was operating in concert with someone in Dell using blocks of numbers of cards and then shipping purloined PCs to Brooklyn. I said I have an Idea, put me in a UPS outfit and let me deliver the PC to the place in Brooklyn so we can arrest the perps. After a few seconds the guy on the phone said, I don’t think the bank could withstand the liability that would bring to them given how upset you sound. Even after I promised to only hit the perps, they said no thank you.
