I just got ripped off on my AMEX for a iPhone.
The info says "CNP Internet" doing business as the Apple Web Store. The phone number is North Carolina State University book store. So they have got into someone's merchant account and had the DBA changed to make it appear to be the Apple Web Store.
I am sure they figure there are a lot of people that are buying an iPhone from the Apple Web Store and they may not recognize they were ripped off when they see the charge.
The scum authorized and capped $0.01 then after that worked they made another authorization and cap for $425.93.
