Betcha if this guy was printing his own money, the feds would snag this guy so fast all you'd see is a vapor trail. The gov-mint hates competition.
Funny thing is, why do the credit card companies even let him keep a merchant account if he has negative history?

I'd like to pass along some safe-er online purchasing practices.
1# Use one of the top constantly updating antiviral software like Norton and keep things turned on like the firewall.
2# When ever you enter sensitive info like passwords, ssn and card info, use the "On-Screen Keyboard"

Start/All Programs/Accessories/Accessibility/On-Screen-Keyboard. Keystroke spyware cant see what you enter that way (at your end anyway).

3# Use a feature like B of A's "ShopSafe". Through your online account, you generate new card number, limit, expiration, ccv# that's good only for one merchant to access. Anyone else is out of luck.

4# Before you purchase, look the sellers site's "about us", "terms", "contact us". If it is missing or makes you uncomfortable, don't do business. Also try the phone number.

It's a bit of a hassle, but you get fast quickly.
