Here's the scenario - I have a network w/2PCs on XP Home SP2 w/2wire
homeportal/ethernet connection. Gramps is on one, me & hubby on the other.
All three of us make online purchases, however, gramps is CLUELESS on
security & no matter how much I beg/plead- follows or remembers anything. Ask
for his CC# in a chat room - i'm scared. No user accounts set up on either
(his password memory...) Anyhoo we 3 share pcus occasionally. I ordered a rx
from my pcu/ip addy & ASSUMED since I had an acct w/them they used MY CC info
turns out it was Gramp's!!! (no I didn't 'confirm' my info/autofill/whatever
I assumed it was correct I SUCK I KNOW) I have never seen his card in my
life, and he's flipping out, saying I'm stealing from him & he's gonna press
charges against me for CC FRAUD!? Can someone throw out ideas/scenarios how
my pc picked up his not-so-secure cc# info??? I know I didn't do it, but it
sure looks like I did!
