fow what it's worth I was blaze (accent not rendered) about credit card

fraud until disingenuously named "Internet billing company" removed 250

pounds from my VISA account in amounts of around 8 dollars a time over a

two month period.  I assume this was the result of an insecure transaction

(I know I made one or two last year). I got the money back from VISA,

largely I suppose because it is unwilling to make a song and dance about

card fraud.
