I would like to warn people about shopping on line..we don't do it..but 2 of our credit cards were hijacked this month to the tune of about 5 grand. We are not being charged because our credit card company is very shrewd and flagged these charges and our cards and id etc was protected. We have reported this to the local pd Internet fraud dept and I also called the company whose merchandise was stolen or tried to be stolen. The company in question has a good system and tracked the IP addresses back to Ghana Africa. The fraud is coming from all over Africa, South America and the UK. So folks be very careful and be sure to check your receipts against your bill, I have called all our other card companies and are ok and have asked them to call if we get any odd looking charges.

I’m sorry to hear about this incident, celtic gal.

I use the online sites myself to find the deal, but I only order by phone.

I remember when a puke in Pakistan kept putting my site in “Swinging Singles.”
That was years ago...
