[quote name='getmeoutofjoliet']Ok, so I had this $400+ fraudulent charge, that took place a month after the last time I used my card, on my debit card a few months ago, right? And I go to the bank and supposedly take care of it. They take my card, have me write a letter to Mastercard, and freeze any transactions.
So a month goes by and I get My statement as always. Hmm... everything seems normal, GmooJ is debt free! However, they didn't give me another card, so I went and got a Visa somewhere else. No Biggie.
Fast Forward to last month, The charge is back on the statement with all sorts of ridiculous fees for not paying it. I go to the bank, Go through the process AGAIN, and am told they'll call me back after they talk with Mastercard. Now, Mastercard says the charges were from my IP address and I'm lying, so my credit is going to shit now...
I am a 18-year old, heavy metal listenin', hard liquor drinkin', manual labor workin', MMA fightin', Pitbull raisin' 200+lb. Mexican who lives on the wrong side of town. Do you honestly believe I'm spending $400 dollars at Ambercrombie (sp?) and Frederick's of Hollywood?

Shrike, correct me if I'm wrong but an IP address isn't assigned to one person; a pool of numbers are assigned to a particular neighborhood or locality and can be assigned to any person logging on in that particular area. such as we have RoadRunner and we live in Saugerties which is a really small area, so there are possibly 1,000 IP addresses that are assigned to RoadRunner for Saugerties and anyone that has RoadRunner and lives in Saurerties could wind up with any of those 1,000 numbers any time that they log on
