The companies you mentioned above were the same ones I got crap from. I kept all the stuff and the bank gave me a credit for everything. Almost 1500.00 bucks. I was never able to find out how they got my card number? Did you get some stuff to make your teeth whiter also. The companies you mentioned above were the same ones I got crap from.

If it wasn't https, well, that should have been the alarm bell.
