we got taken once - well, hubby did. which is very unlike him. It was a phone
scam. Luckily, I figured it was a scan and started on it right away - and then
even saw it on the news afterwards. We had - I think 60 days on our credit
card, but the scam had that part figured out. I don't remember the details now,
I just know it was difficult to get out from under. We had to prove we never
received the goods - but at the same time, the scam wasn't to send the goods
for 90 days - so you couldn't possibly receive them - and we cancelled it in
time too - but since it was a scam, that really did nothing - and they put
several thousand dollars on our credit card. The credit card company took it
off the bill - but said if they found out different, they would put it back on.
then it came back on - then went off again for good. we didn't have that sort
of money. I am very leery -
I have a debit card - but it is to my main account - and my husbands business
expenses get reimbursed into that account so it is difficult to keep it at a
low balance. I wonder what a minumum balance requirement is to open another
account with a debit card...
my son has ordered on line with no problem....knock on wood!

I went looking on the net but couldn't find much, Here is one I found.
"Fraud guarantee for purchases made over the Internet" I see it in my mail
from the bank all the time that if you report fraud within 30 days there is
a max of $50.00 you will lose.
I don't use a credit card I use a bank account that has a debit card, works
like a c/c but is only good for whatever is in the bank. I can transfer
money from my other account to it in just a few minutes, on line of course.
Sincerely Yours,
Hank
