Seems that you need to manage your cookies and the internet a bit better then you think.....
A brief bit of information then the bad news <IMG SRC="/forums/images/frown.gif" BORDER=0 ALT="
"> and the good news <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT="">
I have a credit/debit card on a 2nd Bank Account that I use mainly to pay a couple bills like Direct TV and the Local Pay Tolls that have a prepay system and these two charges are never done on the internet.....
BAD NEWS: <IMG SRC="/forums/images/frown.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=""> I made one internet transaction using this credit/debit card with a company to buy some software at $29.95 and we was both suppose to be using secure pages to do this late in the evening on Wednesday 11/22/00 (Thanksgiving 11/23/00) and on friday I went to the bank to make a deposit on my 1st Main Account and to verify that the money was there on the 2nd Account to pay the charge.....
I never personally visited these two web sites but I did find that they tried to charge to my credit/debit card.....
WWW BONZI COM tried to charge to my card $40.00
WWW KEEN COM tried to charge $250.00 & $150.00 & $70.00 for a total of $470.00 (all 3 was in the same morning).....
These charges showed up on Friday 11/24/00 in the morning as pending approval.....
GOOD NEWS: <IMG SRC="/forums/images/smile.gif" BORDER=0 ALT=""> I went straight into the bank and had them cancel my credit/debit card before they could be approved.....
My 2nd Bank Account balance is now back to where it was suppose to be.....
My personal banker is now a better friend then before (He is also helping me get internet access to the banks computers to be able to monitor my accounts from home now)
Conclusion: Be very very carefull when you shop the internet cause by the time I would have seen a normal regular credit card bill the transactions would have been posted and I would have a fight trying to charge back and possibly been liable for a $50.00 incident fee or a $500.00 incident fee which depends on when the incident happened and was fineally reported.....
