Re: And now the good news...sort of

Dude...I use my debit/Visa card all the time for on-line purchases.  But I
watch my account like a hawk...and my bank is very good about looking into
and canceling/crediting any charges that are fraudulent.  Doesn't happen
very often, but it DOES happen.  Swine dogs out there in the world trying to
steal my money - that gets on my last nerve.
