yah, i've never used a prepaid card as they seem like pain in the ass to use and only certain ones can be used for over sea's purchases and you still have to register the card...
and i've ordered from the tude for years now, first issue, but like i said, they're the only ones i've used my card with lately, so it doesn't look good... i've heard other people say the same for years and never paid any attention cuz i was all good, up till now, lol..
oh well, live and learn, it's either cash by registered mail only or prepaid for me.. not sure if i want to used the tude anymore.. there are plenty of other spots out there that don't have the fraud rep that the tude has, and whom i haven't been ripped off after using them in the past..
i did get lucky though, they didn't get any cash.. they fished a sale for $.50 then tried the airplane tix and both got denied... the thing is luthansa is a european co and the tude are in the uk, which doesn't look good in my eyes either..
i'l let you know what they say to my email...
