Dear all (and dealers especially),

I, too have received a doubtful order from Indonesia, although not a huge
order, and not from the same address or anything remotely near it. I was
suspicious because the name on the card was not the same as the name of the
customer. I found the response to my E-mail about this rather evasive. I
decided instead to put the order aside for a week or so. If it concerned a
stolen card, the rightful owner of the card would have cancelled it by
then. Guess what, he had! Stalling a suspicious order, preferably over a
period that includes the first of the month (when people receive their
statements) has proven very successful for me. For customers on the
receiving end of such treatment I advise that communication (i.e. reply to
the E-mails the dealer sends), and a small previous order works wonders.
Nobody wants to be suspicious, but sometimes you just have to. It also
helps greatly to be known in the shell world

regards

Patty
