I worked as a temp in BofA's fraud department once. It was fun reading some of the cases. It seemed most causes of fraud were boyfriends, sons or grandsons of the card holder stealing the card and using it. Quite often the card was, say, in a checkbook that had the PIN number written down on it.

My fave cases were the ones where the cardholder knew who stole the card, but refused to testify against them or file a police report. BofA would not refund money stolen from the account in these cases.

I really need to assemble another one to demonstrate what he's been up to lately, which involves nudity, bondage, and playing a wicked game of gay chicken.

Yes. Moar picspam plz.

Oh, you guys don't even know how much squee I've been holding back as to not make a complete spectacle of myself.

Heh. look, shrift and I could be sisters!

Is this man cheating on his wife? Article in WSJ about Second Life.... very interesting.

No, but this one was: [link]

Next time will probably be around Xmas/New Years, maybe Presidents Day. I'm guessing, but we usually try to go up there for a visit around the start of the year.

I should still be here then.

Is this man cheating on his wife?

Maybe not cheating cheating, but he sure as hell isn't present in the marriage, except inasmuch as his actual physical carcass is sharing physical space with his physical wife. In every other way, he sounds way more invested in his Second Life marriage.

Can you ask for a nice card and a gift certificate to some place like trader joes or target instead?

Newp, though I'm of the same mind. There's also a digital camera I don't want even though mine broke because I am just that picky. I think it is between the globe (because, come on, I love them and am seriously unlikely to purchase one for myself, n) or the bowl. Which is pretty and takes up less space. hmm.

I really wonder who puts these lists together.

Is this in your LJ?

Not yet. Uh. I've been too busy staring and saying "Holy shit!" a lot?

shrift and I could be sisters!

Hee! Saturday was happy sobriety day! I, uh, celebrated by showing people Life on the Murder Scene and drinking a few vodka gimlets.

I knew this. I didn't mention it to anyone for fear of eye-rolling because I knew.

Hah! Awesome!

I'm assuming one of those Second lIfe stories was about the Hoorenbeck guy? I totally disliked him the minute I read that he had a Second Life strip club. Also, why even be married if you will be spending all your freetime on Second Life. That couple were newly married.
