Jonathan is in a real big mess right now. When he's not working his full-time I.S. job, he's been operating a nice electronics storefront on the web (to pay for his Range Rover, I guess). Last week things started to get nasty.

Akt1veRad: I'm in the middle of a Nigerian credit card scam
N1ck Gray WFU: whaaaat?
Akt1veRad: lots of bad orders
Akt1veRad: lots of calls to the Secret Service and FBI
N1ck Gray WFU: when did you start to get bad orders?
Akt1veRad: 1/12/04
Akt1veRad: then on 1/21 they did a few more orders using other identities
Akt1veRad: on 1/24 there were over 50 orders, many from the same person, this is when the alarms went off. Total for that day was just over $20,000
Akt1veRad: another $8,000 on the 25th and 26th
N1ck Gray WFU: what kinds of things were they ordering
Akt1veRad: they started out ordering car audio and small electronics. But after those orders they were ordering high end home theater systems and plasma TV's
N1ck Gray WFU: automatically drop-shipped?
Akt1veRad: All the credit cards where good and authorized by the bank
Akt1veRad: still have to see what I get back and what they end up covering with insurance
