We have done much business with them over the years. Within 30 minutes, our Visa card was used in California. When the Bank called to check, I asked if I should call apple and the bank said no because there i no telling where our card was "skyped". Even sites I have been assured are safe apparently are not. maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06887076932802387393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8389866155730491552.post-33475399427855328672013-03-22T20:27:42.958-04:002013-03-22T20:27:42.958-04:00That is despicable.
