Interpol; Get the Card Jackers, Puleeze!

Careful, you*re impulse to trust could BITE you.

Credit cards on line

Full safety = avoid using the card on line.

But if you must use a card on line:=

[1] Lower the card ceiling to $500..lower if possible.

[2] Avoid free screen saver sites and offers.

[3] Avoid free virus scans unless, Telus or a site you know.

[4] Avoid Porn Sites. Most dangerous for Trojans & worms.

[5] Avoid music share sites like *Limewire*.

[6] Avoid Teen P2P chat sites.

[7] Never fill in app. Forms sent to you in Email. Phishing.

[8] Always red X zap Email selling drugs, Rolexes, software.

[9] Zap means do not click on *stop these Emails* just on X.

[10] Zap lottery win notices. Otherwise they win, you lose.

[11] Zap offers to help bank 2, 3, 5, 10 million for others.


A credit card was hi-jacked recently.

The card invoice listed a paysite $35.99 charge and 800 number.

The charge was fraudulent. Phoning the 800 number, the paysite informs of a charge to an *Adult* site membership. Never heard of it..[B….. On B…..]. Victims will know.

Not able to spell it out. Some young reader may go there and lose the family savings. Avoiding lawsuits here.

Two charges to the card… $400 - UK. Server and $380 Isreali server, were refused . Card had $300 open window.

To check the card validity, the crooks charged $35.99 to the
B….. on B….. web site. That did pay.

Theory: Crooks always prefer cash. Crooks paid themselves the $35.99. Ergo, they own the adult website the money was paid to.

Ok, Interpol… go get *em. You know where they hang out.
