Holy moly, teeani just posted the most amazing comment to an earlier entry of mine...  Turns out that the fraudulent charge on my credit card - a direct result of my signing up with GottaPlay.Com!!!  And I know it's true because I haven't charged anything on this particular card in weeks.  Holy crap on a stick!  Thank you, teeani!

These GottaPlay people are the same ones who replied to my 'where is my game' email with a sad story about start up issues and lack of inventory and they would extend my $1 startup subscription.  Well, they charged me for a full month +$1 so I canceled.  Just now I went back into my account and filed a formal dispute to the charge.

Sounds like they are looking for a run in with the feds. If their customer information is regularly going missing and they are short of cash they already have method, motive and opportunity.

honestly ...

it's probably something much simpler, like lame technology on their website being exploited by hackers. it looks like they got smarter--the early exploits were merchandise from sephora and the cbs sports store--by the time they got to susandennis they clearly figured out it was much easier to just send western union moneygrams to whoever ...

either way they're in a boatload of trouble.

Some days I'd love to be a cop, but round here it seems like all the cops want to do is issue traffic tickets.

I did! Don't you think it was classy of him not to drag my name into it? So discrete.

I hope they "allow" you to cancel and not just keep charging you.
Like AOHell seems to do.

Oh they can keep charging all they want. The card has now been cancelled. That was the last allowable charge and now I've filed a dispute on it. No more. The end. Whew.
