Someone ordered around $800 worth of stuff on my Dad's credit card. The really weird thing about it was it was his business account which really only gets used to buy business supplies.

He got all of his money back, and they were even able to stop the order before it arrived at the persons house.

Did they do anything about it? No.

Employee? Maybe my post was confusing.

Some random person somehow got the business credit card number and ordered something for $800 (they said it was against a privacy policy to tell us exactly what was bought - yeah, what the fuck) from NewEgg.com. They had the guys address, but the credit card company never pressed charges on him. I guess it's cheaper for them to just pay people back, then to prosecute them - which is why this is becoming more and more popular.

The credit card company refunded the money, and NewEgg was able to stop the order right before it left the UPS station in his city.

that sux but it happens all the time.

it happens at resturants alot. they are card readers that just need to be in the workers pocket and they can just put the card close and it will read everything on the magnet strip. they then down load the info and sell it. someone buys it, makes a new fake card and then resells it.

same sort of theing goes for online purchases. someone can catch the info and go from there.
