Everyone makes fun of me because I HATE electronic banking. IMO [size=06pt]never,[/size] [size=08pt]never,[/size] never, use an ATM/Check card on the internet. That's a direct line into you're checking account. Use a REAL credit card. The CC companies will work with you, and 99% of the time they'll eat the charges. Banks react a little slower, and it can really screw up your account.Sorry that happened to you Marigold. Just my .02
I didn't buy any Games and I don't remember giving them my Bank account number.

Just my .02The CC companies may work with you, but they damned well refuse to cooperate with law enforcement. The credit card companies, the banks, and many of the retail chains with their own credit cards will quote "customer privacy" issues and refuse to cooperate with subpoenas and court orders for info on crooks and scam artists for as long as they can get away with it. When they are finally forced to reveal the identities of crooks, or the routing of fraudulent payments, all recordings of the transactions are long gone, and the case is very difficult to impossible to make. These businesses almost seem to be in collaboration with the crooks. Very few of these scam artists are prosecuted and none of them receive real punishment. That's why these crimes are so prevalent, and why they are increasing daily -- it's a safe way to rip folks off. America is in love with the convenience of electronic transactions, and America's justice system has fallen apart.
