FRAUDULENT CHARGES AT AMAZON
According to Mainstreet Bank Group, Garlock's bank, someone had purchased nearly $1,400 worth of merchandise at Amazon.com and charged it to his debit card account.
When the mysterious charges at Amazon.com appeared, Garlock immediately suspected fraud and called the online retailer of books and music to find out who was responsible. But Garlock was astonished to find that Amazon.com would not release any information to him about his account.


June 24 — When Internet investigator Don Garlock's bank account was mysteriously cleaned out in early June, the last thing he expected was that the search for the culprit would take him on a shadowy trail through cyberspace. The clues began at online retail giant Amazon.com and led to a ring of alleged hackers in Bangkok, Thailand. Along the way, Garlock picked up crucial lessons about the perils of online shopping, even at sites that claim to be “100 percent safe.”
