I don't think it is classic identity theft, it was my bank card number that someone just got ahold of, not a new card issued in my name.
I guess what I wonder is if the company can tell me where the charges were made... where did the stuff get shipped to? Not here!
Count me in!
It's wonderful to hear from him again. You must have been thrilled to death to see an e-mail from him!
That is really strange. The bank is investigating?
No.... they're not going to investigate. They just credited it. It's such a small amount, it's not worth their time.
Yep! I hear ever now and then from his wife...just the occasional forwarded email or something.
I've got time to prepare, if the Hole wants to take on this effort again...
What the....? How on earth did that happen? :-/
I would go back and be sure that there weren't other charges.
Definitely find out where it was shipped to!
I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be a PO Box though. Unless the thief is incredibly stupid....
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
The company might not be the thief, but I'd consider that a possibility. I've passed the company's contact info on to a couple people I know to see what they come up with. I'll let you know if anything turns up.
HA! - I just called and talked to a nice guy who said he'd be happy to look up where the stuff was shipped to.... but not right now, if I could wait, cuz they've got a hurricane coming and they are trying to close down. I said that was more than fair and I would call back next week. ;~D
If they're any kind of company, they should be able to look up a charge and tell you what it was for and where it went. Might not hurt to give them a call and see.
That's a good idea...
Heh - they seem willing to work with me if they don't get swept away by Jeanne.
Even fringy companies take breaks for hurricanes, LOL!
Just lifted this off another thread. Hey folks!
Yep, and even fringy companies deserve to go home and not worry about my little $50 problem!
What's the latest on the weather down there?
If you find out where it went to, be sure and call and "verify" they got their "order"...act like you're the company.
Then if it turns out to be true theft, I'd throw the book at 'em.
Well, it already is a true theft.... They ordered it on my card and they are not me. That doesn't happen by accident.
Yeah, I think it is. But I got zapped for getting in the mod's face. I won't do it a third time........probably. ;^)
