The weirdest things can happen on the Internet... A couple of months ago, while I was in North Carolina, I got a phone call from a sheriff somewhere in Georgia, investigating fraud. He said that somebody had charged something on my web site... but he'd just looked at my site and couldn't see where there's anything for sale there. And there isn't. This had me puzzled and worried for a while. Eventually, when I called him back to say I just couldn't imagine how this could have happened, he apologized and said it was a mistake by the credit card company. Apparently there is a standard form for investigating fraud, in which the abbreviation for "Merchant Credit Card" appears just to the left of the domain name involved. And thus, on this form appears this "MCC Media.com" when the suspect web site happens to be "media.com"."
I just got a call from a very concerned (and very fast-talking) mother, whose college student daughter used her credit card on-line, resulting in a charge to media.com. But somebody at the credit card company misread the information and gave her my phone number as the owner of the site. I'm wondering how often *this* is going to happen. Sadly, media.com seems to be one of the more, well, stupid, sites on the web.
