Why do people think they can con you? Do they think you’re brainless? I only use a prepaid card when I order from an online service, having been burned in the past. On this occasion, I had used an online service, who took the card with no problems. When the item didn’t arrive, I emailed the service, who said they had sent it out. By the time three weeks had passed, it still hadn’t arrived. The email stated that, and the reply stated that they would send out another. They tried to debit the prepaid card, and when they found they couldn’t, they complained. Loudly. I told them had they been honest, I might have played along, but they could kiss my business goodbye.
