avoid doing business with dell

[rone]

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.

Makes me feel better about the ass-pain they made it when I ordered a PC from MidWest Micro (now called Global Computer, but my dad and I have bought 4-5 machines from MidWest Micro, though the last, this one I'm on and the Athlon 1300 I'm talking about, technically was built by Global Computer)-- I wanted them to ship it to my workplace, and they made me get my workplace listed on my credit-card, something I had to do through my bank. Sounds simple, I suppose, but at the time I didn't think much of it.
