          Two of these same "names" have also tried to hit us, but they've never been able to get through our fraud detection program.

            Nor Azam Said - Chose to pay by bank transfer and did not bother sending the money - Malaysia

            Loads of people have tried the "I'll pay by bank wire" option and then never sent the money.  We assume because they are stupid enough to think we'll send the goods before we get the transfer.  Unfortunately, this has resulted in us closing the pay bay bank transfer option.

            We have also implemented and "If your address is in Indonesia or Malaysia, we will not accept your order" policy.  But, if you get in touch with us or are a repeat good customer, get in touch and we can sort you out.

                We have had about 6 successful frauds against us in 11 years trading, so we have not done too badly.  But the overhead taken to manage out the bad guys is a pain in the arse.

                A decent fraudster can work out a CVC code and expiry date from a Visa card in 6 seconds.

                  That's absolutely insane that it's that easy for them.

                  I know all our software for client management had gotten really confusing, to the point that I have no control (and can provide no assistance) over a clients credit card on file once they input it into to our system. Tokenization is great, but I guess it's still not a perfect process.

                      Interesting… I was under the impression that Visa was safer than MC since a lot of banks have recently
                      Dropped MC as their card of choice and swapped to Visa - but I bet that matters more about batch and swipe costs than anything else..

                                    Why InStyle MEN?

                                    InStyle MEN is the essential style guide for men: Here you can find out everything about fashion, beauty and the most popular lifestyle news – naturally with the style of the stars. The magazine is aimed at the "normal" man who is interested in fashion and cosmetics but who isn't an expert.
                                    InStyle MEN will initially appear in a bundle together with InStyle, making it an unmissable, extra-thick style package for HIM and HER. InStyle MEN will then be available at the newsstand for a further month as a stand-alone.
                                    THE STYLE OF THE STARS – FOR MEN!

                                    InStyle MEN is the consequent extension of InStyle‘s core competence: fashion service and orientation! Within 140 pages, InStyle MEN presents everything one must know about fashion, beauty and lifestyle.

                                    InStyle MEN is directed especially at readers who are interested in fashion but also to female InStyle fans who want to share their passion for the latest trends with their partners.

                                    Please feel free to contact me anytime, should you require further details or wish to receive a copy in the post.

                                    **After some to-ing and fro-ing including some telephone conversations, I agreed to send him some gear.  Anyway, he stopped communicating with me, so I got in touch with InStyle's head office.

                                    The response:**
                                    Dear Giles,

                                    I am very shocked to hear about that. There is no InStyle Men in France, and there was never a plan to do so. This guy is just a liar and  as I said, I am really shocked that somebody is using our brand to steal clothes.
                                    I put our Parisian correspondence Inna Fischbuch in cc, that she is informed that someone is acting like that.

                                    I am very sorry to say, but as we have nothing to do with this request, we can not refund any clothes. But what we can do: publish your label (this time for sure!) in our upcoming issue (october issue).

                                    For further questions, please do not hesitate to call me.

                                    Best, Kerstin

                                    @Alex just found the bastard:
