Complete charge or hold makes no difference, the criminal cardholder can still pull this game. I lump debit cards in with credit cards, which you can't do that with at all. This is the first time someone tried this with a computer. Usually they do it as soon as they get the tracking number, knowing the part will be delivered before we get the paper work. WV has a pretty good law we got passed last year to protect consumers and merchants, and we have used it once. Guy had to pay restitution and got 30 days in jail.

Honest people don't do this stuff, nor would they have to. We had one kid called us the day we finished his engine. He wrecked his car, totally destroyed it. He knew it was custom built and the terms he agreed to, so he simply ask us to try to sell it for him. That is how honest people do things.

A friend of mine sold $2500 of parts through his business, then the guys wife claimed she never got the parts. Seems the wife got stuck with the bills after a divorce and was trying to lie her way out of paying for them. There is now a warrant for her arrest.
