COPPEL in Leon Home Depot mall - Do NOT use a credit card!

[mr bill]

With all the CapitalOne bashing in this thread let me relate a recent experience. About a week ago my brother-in-law called to let us know several packages began arriving at his house addressed to us [we use his US address] I checked my credit card and there was no suspicious activity. I checked my wife's card and on 8/29 and 8/30 some 30 charges totaling over $1200 for Merchandise and for "Professional Services" appeared on the card. It took two calls to CapOne on my VOIP line to clear it up. 1st call was just to advise CapOne that there was fraudulent activity. Nothing could be done as I was not the card holder. A couple of days later my wife called in, identified herself and simply said every transaction after 8/28 was fraudulent. The card had already been blocked and now it would be canceled and a new card sent [mailed to us 3 days ago] Looking at my wife's account today CapOne has posted 35 credits - guess they got a little carried away and will figure it out in time. So, I don't see what all the fuss was about in the matter that started this thread.

Weird thing is not getting bilked for "Professional Services" which makes some sense as the fraudster gets the cash and probably closes the receiving account quickly - what gets me is why would he/she buy merchandise and send it to our address? What are we going to do with around 15 X-Boxes?
