Re: A never ending mountain of Paperwork
One month we had 3 amounts of $2K on our CC account. I called the CC company and they said they would put it into dispute. They said it was not necessary to cancel the CC. A couple of weeks later another $6K in three separate transactions showed up. So now we had 6 transactions totalling $12K from the same company. The CC company then said it would be a good idea to cancel the card. It finally ended with a letter from the fraud squad, explaining that this was part of a nationwide fraud ring and was now being handled by the FBI and Secret Service. This was all caused by a vendor's employee taking down our CC details. :scared: :scared:

So are you and Bob related, or do you have to own a pet rat to become a moderator on BE?

I think the white ones are best 'cos they look less like sewer rats. Gotta love those red eyes. Don't like the ones without fur. :scared:
