i saw that a few days ago. someone on another forum posted it. i hope nobody here ordered that thing. its supposed to be able to take all your money out of your checking account if they got your information.
THAT SUCKS!!

Wow..you know those people are going to jail.

they showed that on the news! some people from MD got charged like $80 for a membership fee to some other company. and the company who sold the dvd's (or didn't sell rather) has no working phone number or address. they also said that no one received a dvd player. that really sucks.

I guess this is why you're best ordering over the net with a reputable credit card. All Visas should now give you 100% fraud protection, and I know that Amex's blue is good for that, too (with a whole host of other goodies).
