Well I was Schnooped .... they charged quite a lot from my AMEX card and I didnt get a call from AMEX about it so people should check their statements.

Charges on mine were from VIA World Bangaladore and were multiple charges. Like most fraudsters they did a test transaction on the 19th and then went for the full boat load on the 21st.

Called the CC and they are taking the charges off and sending me a new one.

My new VISA cards arrived via UPS overnight envelope today.
And a few details of the scams. A lowlife named William charged $516 to my card at a garden shop in New York. The only place in NY that had my CC numbers was Shnoop.
Then some idiot tried to buy airplane tickets in Saudi Arabia. And photography equipment online. Those transactions did not get processed.
VISA has been terrific through this hassle. Did not cost me a penny. Good service -- and this old Bart learned a lesson.

I'm suprised AmEx Security isn't down for maintenance.

So this was just an AmEX issue? I used a Visa had no problem that I know of. Had an issue recently unrelated and my cards fraud protection monitoring kicked in less than an hour from when the started making transactions. Whole thing resolved in less than a week. Good luck to those who had problems.

My lighters seem fine. I haven't tried them all but the ones I have tried were nice single torch lighters.

Funny thing I saw an email from Schnoop last night and they had the Ronson deal up there again.

In fact if you go to the site right now the deal in is the lower right.

You ought to be fine then since PP doesn't work the same as a CC. No numbers are sent to a processor, it all stays on PP.

In your Pennywise account "Orders" screen will read "Status: Processing" for, well, forever... but after a few days, you can click on the actual item description on the order screen page and you'll get a detail screen that has the order info and the UPS tracking number and status at the bottom of it. My Thursday order shipped out the next Monday.

That's what I thought, too until receiving an invoice in the mail today from Apple with a different person's name and my address (in WI) and a ship to in Grand Canyon, AZ. No charges had yet to appear on my on-line tracking (as they were still pending), but the invoice was for $700. After an hour on the phone with Apple and another 20 minutes on the phone with Discover, the card has been canceled and is being replaced.

Stay diligent. It may not happen today or next week, but the odds are pretty good something will be attempted.

Got a name and addy if anyone's in the neighborhood with some neutering equipment.

Just found out my Amex got hit...over a week ago. Yuck. Now I gotta figure out 1) whether my flight to NYC tomorrow will actually go and 2) if that flight makes, whether I can have a card sent to the hotel so I can use it to pay

Amex is real good about overnighting a new card, question is weather you call them in enough time to meet the UPS cut-off
