Re: FN-FORUM Dodgy email ???

date posted 20th April 2001 18:15

Maybe they made a mistake. Or maybe someone got your card details and e-mail
address.

Nigell had his card details nicked from when he signed up for a surftime
type package and the card was used and used to the tune of about three
thousand pounds in the end - it was not his concern as it was dealt with by
the bank but still we get nice letters from various online betting
companies/Porno distributors in the USA demanding money that he owes - that
he never spent in the first place. The postal address was correct and the
last name but they made up the first which is just and initial on his card.
Around the same time we also had letters saying that the card number was not
quite right etc - no real conclusion just a thought.
