Every morning, the first thing I do on the computer is to check my bank accounts. In the business account for our store, I was horrified to see a reversal of $2,300 by a credit card company. It took some time to figure out that three weeks earlier the two young men who made purchases in our store had used a fraudulent card. They spent a long time making a decision on what they purchased and chatted at length about their families.
We checked their driver licenses to be sure the name matched with the cards and the purchases went through without a hitch. Even harder to believe is one of the men stayed in contact with us via email for two weeks organizing his next purchase for a custom-made ring. Why would he give me his IP address and his name if he was scamming us? They must have known that it would take three weeks before the credit card payment would be reversed.
