I think that this is all BS.....I only *wish* that we could reply to emails like that with something like this:
============================
Dear Evan,
I completely understand your situation. I know you must have been really irate.....I know I would have been. I would probably ground my son for a month of Sunday's.
However, as much as I can relate to your plight, the credit card companies take fraudulent purchases very seriously. I recommend that you call your credit card company and explain to them that your son stole your credit card and used it to purchase items online. You will be happy to hear that they will immediately refund your money.
Of course, as soon as they do they will file criminal charges against your son for petty theft, theft of services, and fraud. Of course, since you are in another state it will all be federal charges since it uses telecommunications across state lines. Do you not agree that your son should be taught a lesson for this criminal act?? I thought you would agree!
It was nice chatting with you today, Evan, and for all of your troubles here is a password to another one of our fine sites.....
=========================
I bet you would never hear from the dude again!!!
