got me one time. had a feelig I should check my account one day. it was not only empty, it was overdrawn for hundreds. someone got my number and charged a couple grand on it. luckily I noticed this by the next day. within 4-5 hours they had ordered these real estate rip off get rich vieeos, subscribed to many magazines, applied for student loans, etc. just stupid worthless stuff. and it was delivered to my address! the 16-18 charges were from $1 to several hundred, all online stuff. banker said they get payment somehow just by ordering crap online. noticed the charges about 2-3 am and was at the bank at 8am to get the card canceled. my money was refunded by the bank and all the NSF charges dropped within 2 weeks. fuuny thing is I remember ordering a new cell phone online and my computer locked up fro a while after I entered all the card info. the next day I got the charges. I inquired a bit and learned this crook gave them my cell phone number on his purchases but it was one number off the actual number. I remembered mistyping it the same way when ordering online.
