Default Speaking of computers ...

Just got a call from Mrs.E. Seems someone got a hold of one of her
credit card numbers and ordered themselves a $3000.00 laptop from
Bestbuy.com.

Something must have tripped a flag because Bestbuy called her and
asked if she had placed the order. They then cancelled the order and
recommended that Mrs.E. call the credit card company, cancel the card
and have a new one issued, which she did.

I wonder if they can track who placed the order, since it was
apparently done on-line.
I also wonder what flags them to call and confirm the order.

You have to be careful out there.

It was the credit card company calling home last June,
wife took call, and was alerted to fact I was buying a boat ... :-(

I was putting a down payment on a boat in another town.
Can't get away with nothin these days :-)
