I made one under the name Tortuga man . I guess they didn't like something about my alias. Who knows the webs is a mysterious place.

Yeah, but not in this instance.

When you call them you have to talk to the computer and while it's processing what you say there's typing sounds. It reminds me of this ad on the radio here for a body shop where it's like people talking over coffee and the spoons clanging against the cup sound effect is distracting.

Someone decided I was generous and bought themselves an Iphone with my credit card info. Unfortunately for them:(, I'd used that card before for Apple and it defaulted to my shipping info. So I have an Iphone that I need to return.

What a bummer to have to go through that hassle! We had Amex employees fraud us! We were reimbursed but still, internally?

OMG! I hope that's the end of it. Identity theft?

I would never burden you with such an inferior technology.

Returning the phone is becoming more of a hassle than anything with the credit card. They emailed me a link to a return label but you have to be logged in to Apple to get to it and my email wasn't the email used for the purchase so I can't get to it. I'll be calling them again later today. Anytime something like this has happened, I've never found out how it's happened. I just assumed that it was a store or site that had it's information compromised.

As much stuff as I buy online, it'll happen again. I don't worry about it. As poorly as people talk about credit card companies, they're *******, but they're my *******.

Can you just cancel the purchase with your credit card company and keep the phone? (Or send it to David)

Mike: I can't find you on Facebook. There are so many Mike Taylors in Texas.

I thought this was cute. I saw it on one of the Mike Taylor's sites. (He had motorcycle pictures so I thought he was you, but no):

Facebook stalking 101, if you can't find someone, find their family and/or friends.
