    person says card stolen and used illegally - but it's been recurring for 5 months

    I just had an email from someone asking to cancel the account as the card had been stolen 'recently' and it had been used 'illegally' to sign up for my site. I checked back and the original signup was in August 2003, so something certainly doesn't smell right. If the card was used without their consent then surely they would have noticed it by now?

    This person only asked to cancel, so I cancelled and refunded the most recent charge... but I hope they are not going to push it further, 5 months worth of chargebacks is going to hurt.

    BTW, they are in the same city as me, and I was able to confirm that their address details in the phone book match the details entered into the signup form.

    What are your thoughts? Complete bullshit? Family member who discovered their son/brother signed up for the site and they're trying to cover up? Remember they only asked to cancel...

      if the card is still valid and not reported I doubt it was stolen. Just a cheap ass

          Perhaps it really WAS stolen recently and in the process of going over her statements with a fine tooth comb she has just discovered her son has been spanking off to webcam girls for the past 6 months.

          I replied and asked when it was stolen, and offered to help with the police investigation. Hopefully that will be enough of a hint that the needle on my BS meter is starting to wiggle.

                                                                                  I just got to wonder; how much lube and tissues did he go through in 5 months? and did he charge back them too????

Unfortunately we have almost no voice against this and it sucks. I will say this again I think cb's are a profit center if not a electronic signature would of been created and perfected a long time ago.

                                                                                          it's so annoying. i hate people who do that. it's called 'monthly statements' for a reason.

Think it was $20 recurring with ccbill. I couldn't be bothered cancelling it until after the 4th rebill or so as I was kinda hoping that it'd just stop and I wouldn't have to get off my lazy ass.

                                                                                                                  I replied and asked when it was stolen, and offered to help with the police investigation. Hopefully that will be enough of a hint that the needle on my BS meter is starting to wiggle.

All I see is that fucking gay ass music video from "Rick Roll". Anyone else have a different link to the news clip?

I'm scratching my head about this one, surely she would (should) have notified the bank immediately, especially if the card has been used for at LEAST the past 5 months on my site (and probably elsewhere too). If she didn't tell the bank it was stolen then she probably won't be able to recover everything. I doubt they would allow a chargeback from a year ago.
