as said never reply to them they are after your infomation and once they snag you, you can say goodbye to any money you had, they also steal your identity if you give them enough info

Never use a debt card for order...only use a credit card. There is a difference!

now I'm scared and may close it, but I hate using my debit card number too.

Last time I got one of these, I was in a mean mood so acted real upset and thanked them for telling me I'll go right down to the bank and clear it all up, not letting them have another word, then hung up. Probably irritated them no end, now ain't that a shame!!

If you use a credit card and there is an issue...you will get paid ASAP...if you use a debit card and there is an issue you may or may not get your money refunded and if you do it takes a long time. You should use a credit card not a debt card. I took a training class at work on this. They told us always use a credit card.

happened and find out if you should cancel that card and get a
new one issued with a new number. Better safe than sorry.

now why can't some smart computer person write a program that would go to their fake website over and over, each time entering a different fake user ID and fake password, like several thousand times. Then the crooks would waste their time trying all the passwords.

I do a lot of banking and CC stuff online, the only time I ever had a problem was using a CC at a little gas station in KY. It so happened it was the ONLY time I used that card, when I got back from my trip, the CC company called me up to question a charge I had not made. - $799 or so on videos.
