Ebay Fraud
Comments (42)RE GW/FF work ownership posted ~6 post above my me: I am re-posting here (rather than a new post). By (for better/worse); for better (good work) I meant, one can get some pats-on-the-back, or the work stolen. By 'for worse' (stupid work), I meant, one can get his/her butt 'kicked' many times over. Sooo... be careful, you OWN your work! The (digital) internet is forever; and probably it will soon be part of man's 'knowledge' HISTORY. Here is the GW/FF response to me saying that eBay not answering to 'a third party'.

Comments (16)We have MBNA credit cards that have been stolen (online) two or three times. Each time, MBNA picked up on it first. They called me at work, cancelled the card, and overnighted us new ones. I didn't have to request anything nor pay for it. Once we were leaving on vacation the next day, and they made sure we had the new cards before we left. We've had accounts with them for eight years now and have no intent to change. On the other side of the coin, DH had a card stolen from 5/3 bank. We didn't even have an account there, so I don't know how someone got a card in his name. The card was opened in 2000, was never used and then stolen in 2006. Someone took it to Brazil and took out $2k of money from an ATM $200 at a time. It took us months to finalize that one - HOURS on the phone with them. They claimed that since we never used the card, they didn't know our spending patterns. DUH! Our spending pattern was that WE DIDN'T USE THE CARD! It was the most frustrating ordeal we've had in a long time. Then, they got all but one transaction erased. Why ONE remained, I don't know. But they charged us late fees on that one, and we had to fight about that too. What a mess. But, MBNA is THE BEST when dealing with card fraud....See MoreHonest or Interesting Plant/Seed Sellers on Amazon???
Comments (2)Probably too late, but Hinterland Trading on Amazon has some pretty nice small bromeliads and display supplies; I ordered from them about a year ago and the plants arrived in beautiful condition....See MoreCredit card fraud
Comments (8)There are two kinds of chip cards - chip and pin and chip and signature. Chip and pin, like ATM cards here, require entering a PIN to authorize a charge. They are very safe, reduce fraudulent charges for in person use significantly, and are virtually un-counterfeit-able. They have been the standard for many years for credit cards issued almost everywhere in the world EXCEPT in the US. In Europe and Canada, when you are in a restaurant, for example, they bring a little machine to you. You insert the card and then need to enter your PIN, for the charge to go through. The newly issued chip cards in the US are chip and signature. What's the difference between that and what we used to have? Not much. The old style mag strip cards were easily to counterfeit. The chip takes the place of the mag strip to identify you. They can't be counterfeited but they can still be stolen and misused. It disables the ability of the bad guys to make phony cards but otherwise, offers little boost in security over the mag strip only cards. There is a small but growing number of US card issuers that offer chip and pin cards. I got one a few years ago after encountering situations abroad where my mag strip or even newer chip and signature cards couldn't be used....See MoreUptown Gal
