Re: Pulling trigger on Earls Court DVD?

[Fyrclwn@xxxxxx]

chatted with a friend of mine who also happens to be a business 
lawyer......if you authorize someone to use your credit card, you 
cannot 
later dispute the charge.  the only valid way to dispute a credit 
card charge 
is if (and only if) the cahrge was not authorized by the card-holder. 
 
apropos to this situation---if yousend them your number, you are 
buying the 
product......whatever it happens to be.  if it isn't as claimed, you 
might 
have a fraud case in a US court, but international law is a 
completely 
different animal.  basic common sense (unaffected by Zep lust <G>) 
should 
tell you that anyone using a free, web-based, _untraceable_, and 
unsecure 
email addy is probably not to be trusted with your credit line.  
think about 
it---would you send your credit card number to a member of FBO in 
lieu of a 
blanks-for-boots trade?  doubtful.  and you've known us for MUCH 
longer than 
you've known about these guys.  heck, nobody has yet figured out 
exactly who 
or where they are, have they?  personally, i wouldn't do it.  but, 
hey, it's 
your $$.
