ALL MEMBERS - PLEASE READ THIS...
On 30 June 1999 I received two e-mails confirming orders placed over the internet for x-rated type material using my e-mail address and credit card information. Today, 21 July 1999, I received three more e-mails concerning more orders and a call from my credit card company asking about unusual usage of my credit card.
The reason I'm posting this here is my bulletin board username, "Mikey" was used in one of the orders. I only use this username on three bulletin boards:
thefiringline.com
ar15.com
gunspot.com
I have to believe someone visiting one of these BB's is using member profiles to commit fraud. I have disable the credit card (which has never been used on the net by me) and turned the e-mails over to my ISP for action by the TBI and FBI for investigation and prosecution. One of the orders captured the IP address of the computer used so the TBI will try to track it down.
I am trying to see if the particular board that is being used can be identified. If you have had a similar situation lately please post here. Maybe we can nail this scumbag!
