I use my credit cards for online purchases on a regular basis, and because of that I always keep a close eye on my on-line Statement for any unauthorized use... It's the only way to catch things in a hurry. I've had some incidents a few years ago when I suddenly noticed a few purchase in the same day from Philladelphia, New York, Boston, Atlanta.... and I called the credit card company and they refunded the money and replaced the card number... they also asked me to sign a piece of paper that I was not the one who used it, and no more questions since.

Another time, I found a CD I wanted to buy from an online merchant which I noticed was in Russia somewhere... which made me very suspicious... so I called my credit card company and they put me through their Fraud Prevention department... who assured me to go ahead and use my card and not worry... the fellow told me, if they are a VISA accepting merchant, then it is VISA's problem if something goes wrong. He just suggested to make sure I called them ASAP if I notice anything unusual on my Statements.

So generally, I feel quite safe using my card on-line.

And the lady at PG Music just said it was an oversight on their part that they didn't realize I was an existing client. I believe that because another time, I called PG Music for some support and they couldn't find me on their system.. It took them a while to try different approaches (phone number, address, last name, etc.) until finally they found me.... Which I find very strange btw. Most modern databases will find you instantly... specially with a last name that starts with TCH... I am the only one usually LOL!

Anyway, like I said, can't wait to get this thing... Past posts from MAC, John and a few others gave me all the GAS I needed LOL!
