Maybe I was just careless or naive. The fact is I don't know how I feel - angry or excited, proud or stupid ...maybe new things just have a way of getting to me.

Probably not that big, but this came as a shocker to me.

Reading some articles on Wikipedia, I checked out Amazon and went to the mobile site. I decided to create an account so that I could check out a textbook my friend told me about.

I willingly filled out my details including the digits/no clearly written on my little, recently acquired Master card from GTB - but of course, I withheld my password/pin (I guessed that gave me a margin of safety)

I only assume to have pressed the invisible button, ordering for a book; total cost of 82.4 USD. I was ignorant of the billing process(POS) , MY FAULT.

I didn't even have a final say, perhaps - only later did I get a text msg that #13,454.11 flew away from my Acct....but I keep on asking myself - "What happened to my 4-digit PIN!!!! OMG!

Well right now, I am just laughing out loud but sobbing silently - finding out this evening that the book actually costs #3,500 only! in NG.

MY ADVICE : Pls guide your ATM cards, your PIN might not have a say in 'amazon.com' - JUST THE CARD NUMBER CLEARLY WRITTEN ON THE PLASTIC....lol *sobs*

THIS CONCERNS THE LARGE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITH CARDS
