Yep, it happened to me also, when I got back from basic training and went over
my credit card statements I found a number of small charges with the letters
"FR" next to them, I contacted the credit card company and apparently I had
been charging stuff in France! Needless to say they credited it back and said
that someone had got my number online.

I also am very sorry about your fraud. I had my credit card stolen before and
know what it?s like. Thanks for sharing. I have always been leery of Ebay and
now have substantial reason to be.

I had a similar instance with a friend of mine on this case. He bought
something off the net and soon found out that the old saying buyer beware still
applies. Basically, what he bought was a knock off item of the actual product
he was looking for. I personally never buy stuff offline, simply for the
reason that hackers can always break encryption coding eventually. If they can
hack into government computers, then I highly doubt any normal sites are safe,
but that's just my opinion.

using the Internet it's extremely easy to rip someone off and get away safely.
There are all sorts of scams these days, people sell fake goods on eBay, or
email people about fake investment scams, and create fake charities. I think
the best thing people can do is just be really knowledgeable about the possible
scams and do research before spending money on the Internet. I was the victim
of eBay fraud a couple of months ago and it has really changed how I spend
money on the Internet. And if you are a victim of fraud you can report it
