[TheForge] Identity theft

[Chuck Robinson]

On the orders that merchants called to verify delivery we were able to 
cancel the orders. We have no idea what's in the pipeline for delivery that 
merchants don't require confirmation.
 A clerk at our local drug store said that she went thru about the same 
thing several month's ago; by the time she became aware of the problem, 
there was already  many thousands of $$  charged on the card. She had to go 
to court to settle each individual venders suit.
So unless you have your mattress stuffed with money like Terry, you are all 
potential targets.
