paisley Posted July 23, 2003 Report Share Posted July 23, 2003 ya, some kid in the states used an official looking AOL e-mail account to convince people to give him their credit card numbers which he then went out and did some shopping with they caught him and he seems to only have to pay back the people whose card numbers he 'borrowed'... don't give out your personal information online unless you know its secure (which e-mail isn't unless your using pgp or something similar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
