interesting............where were the online products being delivered to? seems easy to catch these people?
PO Box....
Empty homes....
CC cos rarely prosecute.
I had my Chase card # stolen by a hacker in Tokyo. He spent about 7k on electronics.
I travel alot for work and had my CC# stolen by a hotel clerk....CC # stolen by a convenience store clerk.
I only know of the convenience store clerk being prosecuted b/c she was stupid enough to have products ordered online delivered to her house.

Anyhow, I must say we had a bunch of lock outs before the incident for spending 5 or 10 bucks at the retail stores or at the middle of our vacations (even after we had called them that we were leaving ahead of time) and on many other occasions, only to get frustrated every time with their customer service.
BUT their computers did not catch 5 wireless phone purchases online from Cingular.com within 3 minutes, they also puchased 8x$200 worth phone card purchases from USPS.com website a few minutes after. They spent the entire money in less than an hour...
Their computers were still asleep until I called them up a few days later and canceled the card...

This is really funny, but in my case, they were all ordered to some sort of drop boxes within US, actually in different states. It looked very much organized by more than 1 person...

I have no clue where the stuff was going to. Of course it hasn't shown up on a bill or anything yet. The girl I was talking to at first was apparently from India. It took quite awhile to figure out that the card was put on hold by them because they had seen suspicous activity. The poor girl was trying to communicate but the language barrier was almost too great for her. So much for outsourcing. Just figuring out the basics of why my card was not working was an effort. Finally they transfered me to some sort of a fraud dept and they were good english speakers. After that we were able to get them to kill the card and issue a new one.
Yeah, it's not my money that's lost. It's all of our money, we all pay for it in the end.

That's the sad fact. They spread their losses across ALL of us.
