[Eee Pad Transformer General] craftyhack:
I was going to list out the sites myself, but then found this nice and comprehensive index on where and how to report what types of scams for ya:

www dot consumerfraudreporting dot org /reporting.php/

Also, it is technically illegal to charge for an item before it is shipped, this law dates back to the mail order catalog days, UNLESS when you checked out you agreed to be charged in advance (i.e. somewhere in the fine print that is normally on a website in the checkout process), but as mentioned most reputable sites do not do this, not only because it is bad form, but it is a negative if they are a public company, because they have earning they cannot technically claim, and therefore they have liabilities they have to report. It is a violation of SEC law to report earning when you have not yet delivered the goods to the consumer or business from which those earning were reported (and this is regardless of whether or not they agreed to advance payment).

On that note, some companies will send you unsolicited merchandise and then bill you for it. By law, not only do you have no obligation to pay assuming you didn't sign anything asking for it or request the merchandise in any way, you also have the right to keep said merchandise without paying for it and to tell them to f off, and if they turn the account over to collections you can sue them. This law was put into place to discourage what was becoming a big problem back in mail order catalog days with unsolicited merchandise being sent to people, it was a PITA to return it (which is not fair to the consumer who didn't ask for it), and if they didn't send it back they would get harassed, and many people were paying for crap they didn't order or want. And it was usually crap that was being sent too :).

BTW, for those that ordered from this site, please contact your CC company and get a new CC. Unless you used a one time number with a short expiration and a limit equaling your purchase, your CC has now been compromised. It may not be tomorrow, it could be 6 months, but rest assured if you provided your name as it is on the card, your full billing address, full CC number, and CCV, your CC is compromised.

Also, if you don't already do this, you should pay close attention to ALL of your CC charges, even for CCs that you don't use online. THere are easy methods to pull CCs from other POS locations like restaurants, gas pumps, etc. But for those perm CC numbers used on this site, if you choose to ignore my advice and keep the CC #, keep a very close eye on your statement from here on out. And don't jsut look for big charges, there are smarter scammers out there that "bleed" the CCs they have with reoccurring small charges for services (vs. the ordering bigger stuff delivered to empty houses I mentioned earlier). These ones are actually the most successful because most don't pay attention to charges that are <$10, and for some of these guys that have been caught, they had upwards of 100,000 CC's that they were bleeding (think about that, that is ALOT of cheddar every month :)), and the ONLY reason that they were caught is because someone who DID pay close attention reported the charges to their CC, who turned it over to their security team, who then typically looks to see if there are charges on other accounts from the same supplier, where they will then usually freeze the affected account and contact the card holder to verify those charges, cancel the cards if the holders confirm they are not theirs, and also report the fraud to the FBI. Depending on how "big" the operation is will determine how it gets prioritized on the FBI's list, where for big ones their cyber crimes unit will get engaged as well as other agencies depending on jurisdiction (especially when international).

Are you pissed enough to start a "cyber A-Team"? I know that I am personally sick of the bureaucracy that allows these a-hole months to get away (and half of them report to larger crime orgs in other countries, aka the new mafia, which are hands off for busts like this for other BS reasons). I have enough gear to outfit several field operators and can provide training ;). The hard part will be finding them, and if they are working for bigger organizations, then it will be ugly... but fun, like a video game, but real :). If nothing else, it would make for a great book, and probably would be able to get a movie deal too! At least once out of prison :/.
