[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1611258, member: 561023"] While I was overseas last year someone fraudulantly signed me up for AOL with a direct bank draft (have no freggin clue how) as the funding source. As soon as I saw the withdrawal I went to the bank, had the withdrawal reversed, then closed the account and opened a new one (whatta freggin nightmare as eBay and PayPal and so, so many other things used that account for various things [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/mad.gif.c18f003ab0ef8a0d9c27ca78d77a6392.gif[/IMG]) When AOL found out I had reversed the charges and got my $$ back they started threatening to take me to court. I calmly told them that at the time I was "signed up" for their service I was close to 10,000 miles from Louisiana and could easily prove that I was decidedly [B][I]not[/I][/B] stateside and if they wished to pursue fraud charges they were more than welcome to and then asked what they thought a judge would think about them being the largest ISP in the country and so glaringly failed at verifying information about a new customer allowing my money to be essentially stolen until I figured out what was going on (my bank's online banking site FTW!) Edit: 13 more 'til 4K. Like, wow or something.... Reckon I'll need to make a thread about it?!?
