My credit card was charged with a name and address that didn't even resemble
mine! At a Los Angeles address (hadn't been there in years, don't know
anybody there). For sunglasses which I can't wear (must wear prescription
glasses). They don't care who gets charged as long as they pay. To get the
charges removed was a huge pain in the butt that cost me almost as much as
the fraudulent charge (2 notarized signatures @ $20 each, etc.), not to
mention a considerable amount of time.
