Just wondering how secure it is to buy things, especially cd's, online and if you've ever had problems because of it.
I ordered Ultravisitor in the beginning of March from Warp. One day when I came home from school my mom asked me why the hell I would need 2 spoiler kits for 20.000 krónur (roughly 270$) since I don't own a car.
Now...you would think Warp is a well respected company and all that but what are the chances that few days after I ordered that cd some idiot would buy 2 spoiler kits with my credit card. It could have been a mix up with numbers, it happens, but I doubt it.
Well the bank fixed the problem yesterday but they didn't tell me if it was a mix up or not.
Just wondering...

I've been a victim of identity theft. The week before I was leaving the country someone got my debit card number and emptied my bank account.

if that happened with warpmart, you may have a lil dataminer in your compy, or someone may have been watching you at the right moment. my advice is to get a firewall, run adaware and make sure connections are always secure when using a credit card

i've never had a credit card problem, mr. Atli, sir. but, that's a nice avatar of yours, if i may say so. is it a painting/digitally created image of some sort, drawing, etc...?
if so, is it your creation?

Yeah, that was about 3 years ago. I ended up getting all my money back THE DAY BEFORE I left. And it was amazingly non-nightmareish to deal with. :\

i've got a bad stomach bug (which, coincidentally, also does its business aggressively) that you may or may not now have.. but since you presumably are Doctor Awesome, i figure you can cure yourself, (and possibly me. ..That is, if your awesomeness applies to your physician skills, and not just your generally awesome personality/demeanour.)
(this post has way too many parentheses.)

I know, I normally have that problem too.
not only do I normally don't find Achewood funny, I find the drawings to be quite awful.

I'm not sure about the avatar. It's from a site that DJ Xammax hosted.
I doubt that this kind of thing will happen again but it makes you think twice before you order something online.
