[Leica] Credit Card Fraud

[lluisripollquerol at gmail.com (Lluis Ripoll Querol)]

Jim,

I've had a fraud some years ago, on my case I'm sure that it was not  
for the use of the card on internet, on the other hand I prefer use  
Paypal or coded Direct Bank transactions. On my case the money was  
remboursed by the Bank or the Credit Card Insurance 3 months later.  
I'm sure you too, but we should be careful.

On the other hand I'm sure that this kind of fraud can't be produced  
with companies such i.e. Amazon or veru well knonw big dealers....

Thanks for the information, good luck!

Saludos
Lluis
