Now fellows
I called my main credit card company to ask them if a charge had been made on my card. They informed me that none had been made.
There were some real looking sales order numbers and customer numbers and email address - but made up some ficticious ones for this example.
So, just guessing - if you call the toll free number to cancel your order - THEY GOT YOU!
So called the credit card company, instead.
If you go online to their website - THEY GOT YOU!
They now have your email server address and who knows what else.
Just wanted to alert and warn you fellows.
