avoid doing business with dell

A friend had his credit card number stolen after a site he used was cracked. His bank rep told him that two of the charges had gone through because, even though they'd received "Confiscate card: stolen" notifications, they nonetheless ran the charges through. One of them was dell.com. The rep went on to say that Dell is the king of credit card fraud — they do no address checking or any sort of verification. He also said that nearly every card he dealt with in November had Dell charges.

The card-issuing bank, of course, is blameless to let the charges pass through after it is aware that the card has been reported stolen. This is clearly all Dell's fault.

Actually, as it was told to me, Dell put the charge through anyway and Visa accepted. So the blame in accepting Dell's stupid charge lies with Visa and not the card issuer.
