::Receiving Online Gifts

Tuesday, December 07, 2004

I'm fond of thoughtful and generous people. It's nice to receive gifts even when there is no special occasion but, did you know that receiving gifts online is very risky? It surprises me when someone from PinasGift.com told me that anonymous GIFT SENDER sometimes use stolen credit card numbers to send gifts. And, later on, the recipient will be charged for the gift because they received the item, based on laws allegedly implemented by VISA and Master Cards.

I was told that there are lot of cases pending at National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and lot of recipients even now in jail because they couldn't tell who the (online) senders were and how they got the gifts!

Well? It's Christmas time once again but be careful on accepting gifts online from people you do not really know. What's bothering me now is, how about those people who bid at eBay's auctions?
