identity theft is the worst! online poker got my identity stolen once last year.

Paranoid as I tend to be when I'm shopping on line, I also know that I will slip up. I won't use PayPal anymore. I've used it twice and after each time I had extra charges on the credit card. Maybe a coincidence. Maybe not.

My credit card will assign one-shot credit card numbers for on-line purchases. Time to use it.

Sorry about the wrong addy. Thanks DrBadger for clarifying this.

Hubby and I are going to use a specific CC for online purchases for now on. As for the firewall, my version of that is to keep the computers unplugged when I'm not using it. Also, I have an external firewall set up so that no one can access our wireless stuff from the street corner.

It's a sad state of affairs when you can't trust anybody with your id.
