A friend of mine (a pastor) received a letter from a guy that had used his personal information to register on the site. He used his name and address. He posted the letter the guy sent apologizing on facebook.
Ain't that the truth! Stkshtr's pastor isn't the only one using the stolen information defense, despite the fact the list is comprised of the billing info tied to the credit cards used. I guess these guys figure that since people have been believing their BS for years that they will believe their BS now. They are right! SMDH
Just to question. But, why does it having the billing information prove it is the person? Someone can possess the address just as easily as they can the card number.
I am not saying that many of them are victims, but some are. I know one that has a police report with the charges listed from over a year ago.
It's my understanding that the way the site worked is that the charges were accumulated over time. Just setting up an account only cost like $20, a one time billing. But there were fees to keep your membership and to use certain features of the website. So the $ amount shown on the list should have taken months or years to reach the amounts some spent. It's just seems to me that most folks would notice such charges on their monthly statements if someone was using their credit cards.
