WARNING: Cheaper thandirt gives out your credit card info

FYI...
SOURCE: Shotgunworld.com • View topic - WARNING: Cheaper thandirt gives out your credit card info

Quote:

A few weeks ago I noticed I had been getting a charge for $12 from a source called "complete savings". I never thought much about it since it was probably just another online store I bought from, but I got charged again yesterday so i did some research. Turns out 1 800 826 1885 "complete savings" is a scam company that "markets with other businesses" and basically gets you on a "membership" and charges you. What they really do is simply get your credit card info from other phone/online businesses and start charging you without permission, but state that you gave them permission when you did business with this other website/company. Many people don't notice it since it's a small fee and dont' check their accounts very often. One of the most known businesses where customers are victimized is ordering by credit /debit card to Pizza Hut.

I just called them to get my refund and they told me that when I ordered from Cheaper than dirt.com I was enrolled in this discount service where apparently I can get a discount on certain "dining or shopping experiences" by paying 12 dollars a month. I NEVER ENROLLED IN ANYTHING LIKE THIS. They've been withdrawing 12 dollars every month from my account for 5 months without me even knowing it. I demanded a full refund.

I'm never doing any business with Cheaperthandirt.com again. I can't believe they just sell out customer billing info like that. I was so pissed. Anyone else dealt with this kind of stuff before?

not everyone in household can own firearms

Glocker — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 09:15:04 GMT

I have a question for anyone who knows. I have an LTCH so I can legally own firearms and I do. If someone moves in with you and that person legally cannot own a gun, will I be in trouble?

The person isn't a criminal he just had a couple DUI drunk drivings (I think its considered feleny in Michigan not sure) when he was in his early 20's and he is now 41 and has never been in trouble with the law since then.

Only thing I can think of is lock everything up but I felt much safer with my pistol sitting in my nightstand drawer ect. for easier access just in case. Also what if in a situation I was not home and he had to use one of my guns for self defense during a home invasion ect? ...this sucks.

Its a wonderful world

I had an excellent firearms related day today. Took my mauser out and fired it for the first time since its purchase. It was even more fun to shoot than i imagined. then i purchased a fnp .45 and a walther pps .40. sold a kahr, and only had a net loss of 250 bones. im tickled pink and thought id share.

Which is the Better Gun Show?

Libertarian01 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 04:20:30 GMT

To All,

If I can find the time (&$) this weekend I am thinking about getting out to a gun show.

There are two (2);

The first is by Central Indiana Gunshows in South bend and the second is by Gun Collectors Assn of America in Tipton.

The one in Tipton will allegedly have 165 tables.

Is there anyone you would prefer? The drive distance is about equal for me. I know that some folks have a distaste from some show promoters while others have a preference.

I have been to a lot of shows but never really paid attention before. As I will have an equal choice this weekend I'll ask for your input and base where I go on that.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards,

Doug

Does a custom finish increase the value of a firearm

target64 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 01:47:01 GMT

Does a custom finish increase the value of a firearm? I had my LLama Max I C/F refinished and I think it looks great. But, did it increase the value? What are your opinions?
JUST an FYI....this has been Ceracoated
PICS:

What class of firearms do you gravitate to?

rambone — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 23:19:18 GMT

What class of firearms do you gravitate to?

No particular criteria for this poll. Not necessarily thinking in terms of hunting, self-defense, or combat.

But if you had to classify yourself as a "revolver guy" or a "shotgun man" (etc), what would you call yourself? What do you get the most enjoyment out of?

Try to pick only one. ;)

New to all of this-registration question

henry78 — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:32:21 GMT

Hello everyone.
I've just recently gotten the deer hunting bug. My older brother gave me a shotgun for my birthday and I was just curious what the proper channels are to make it all legal. I've never owned a gun before and wanted to get everything squared away before i bring it into the house. he lives in michigan...by the way. I'm not sure if it makes a difference being that the gun is coming from out of state. I did a search for info on this board but didn't quite find anything that was exactly what i was looking for. who do i have to notify or register with....does the gun itself have to be registered, or owner only? any help here is much appreciated! thanks in advance and have a good one!

Poll - Most used lubricants in 3 categories

TopDog — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 06:24:02 GMT

You see tons of threads on all gun forums (this one is no exception) about gun lubricants. I'm curious if kept to just 3 categories which type is most used. For this poll broken down to basically just 3 groups to keep it simple:

1. The newest group, wonder Dry Lubricants. Couple examples - Tuf-Glide and Microlon Gun Juice. Big advantage here is supposed to be the lube does not attract dirt, making clean up a breeze.

2. On old standard for many, Motor Oils. Examples Marvel Mystery Oil and Mobil-1. Great lubes but attracts a great deal of dirt making the gun run dirty.

3. The group I suspect most people use Firearm Specific Lubricants to include the various CLP's and grease's out there. Many Examples Break Free, Slide Glide, Tetra Gun grease etc... This is the largest group with many varying opinions on the wide selection of products. Probably hundreds of different products.

Personally I have had bad luck with the first group. I used dry lubricants and after a hundred rounds ended up having to put some break-free on to keep the guns working. That is just me. So I end up using the third group and really have not found one single product to be that much better than the others.

So what type do you use?

Selling firearm back to a friend - not sure what to do

aikidoka — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:48:34 GMT

Several years ago I had purchased two firearms from a friend and her husband at the time when they needed money. The price was a steal and I said I would sell them back whenever they wanted them.

Since then, she has divorced and remarried. Now she wants them back but I have reason to believe that her current husband cannot own firearms. I remembered that he sees a parole officer and some other issues. I told her if he could show me an Indiana LTCH I wouldn't have a problem. I know she can get one because of her job security requirements. She says I'm selling to her not to him. She says they are separated right now and he doesn't even live there. Thing is she was visiting him the other day and they both came by to look at the firearms. She says it is not for carry just for defense at home.

I feel terrible about not living up to our agreement and not giving them back at the same price but I don't want to put my self in possible legal trouble.

Am I being unecessarily cautious and screwing this friend over needlessly?

Triangulation= Gunshot detection

Mgderf — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:22:54 GMT

I saw a question, I believe it was here, asking about whether or not LE had the technology to detect gunshots remotely.

Gunshot detection. [VIDEO]

I knew the technology existed. I didn't know IBM was a part of it.
