Guys, what you mentioned below happens every day. The ones receiving the packages are just the middle man, sometimes not knowing they are receiving stoled goods, and they then send the items overseas to the ones that have used your credit card to get the item.

I checked my credit card on line and there was a charge from QVC (which I never even watch. much less buy from). I called QVC and they said someone used that card to buy a camera shipped to San Diego (not where I live!). I told them it was a bogus order, they said no harm, they would just ask UPS not to deliver on grounds of fraud. I imagine they use UPS enough to have that power. That is not what I would have done. I would have dressed a couple of guys up in brown jump suits and sent them to the door, "This your camera???" If the guy says yes that is when the baseball bat comes out and his hands accidentally get crushed. I'll bet he wouldn't do it again. -- Dave Gomberg, San Francisco NE5EE gomberg1 at wcf dot com All addresses, phones, etc. at http://www.wcf.com/ham/info.html ----------------------------------------------------------
