Default Credit card scammers

This is not a RJ issue, but something that happened to my dad last week. He is not sure how is card info was stolen, but Some gal at a distribution warehouse smelled a rat, and called him and asked if he had purchased 8000.00 in printer cartriges from his new address in Montana, he lives in Kansas City.

He said no of coarse, and she locked down the order and had him call the athourities. The items were ready to ship from 3 states away in a UPS office. The cops rolled in and found that there was also a 58" plasma TV he had bought on the dock as well, 2300.00, same card. These items were ready to ship to the U.K. to the scammers new home. The address in the U.K. is a vacant building and they were probably gonna meet the truck there for pick up.

They told him that had they not ordered the 8000.00 cartriges and went with 5000.00 or less it probably would have shipped out no problem. He has only used the card online and from a phone order, it was untraceable how the # got out. Now that would have sukked big time.
