Credit Card theft

[Mehen]

we generally will pay for overdraft fees if the problem was our fault - not sure how identity theft plays into that, we've never had that problem (I work at an online canadian pharmacy, PS let me know if you are an american and are being hurt by outrageous US big pharma prices)

Sounds really bad, Lizzy.

Please post what happens and if you get your cash refunded.

Many banks will give (sell?) you a one-off usage credit card no. on request, if yiu have doubts. I've done many hundreds of transactions over the Internet but always with reputable companies with encoded sites. Touch wood (my head), no one has ever robbed or misused the data yet. I got a credit card with a CYP 500 ($1000) limit, especially for Internet use, so I KNOW that, no matter what goes wrong, my liability is limited and the thief will never be able to buy a 42" plasma or a 1 month holiday in Oz, and will get nicked if he tries to do so.

Wow you must have a nice time checking the page source just incase.

Interesting case with a collegue who had protection on his debit card (Yup silly billy uses his debit card). Anyway his bank rings him as stuff is suddenly flying out of his account. He isn't doing anything so they cancel his card yet within minutes stuff is disappearing from the unissued new card. So the bank had to close his account down and create a new one. To me that sounds like an insider job.
