Why Can't CD Wow Be More Like Play.com?
It really pee'd me off. Some git did a load of fraudulent transactions on one of my company credit cards on CD WOW. It appeared that CD WOW has done nothing about it. I called up the credit card company (BofS) and they reversed the transactions. Then more appeared on CD WOW.
Who goes and spends around £700 in a few days on CD Wow - with all the transactions being between £37 and £43. Would you think it was fishy?
Well on the other end of the scale, I bought a book from Play.com - just £9.00 and because I'd ordered a Pleo Dinosaur from them in the past they wanted me to call up and confirm I'm who I say I am.
To me this is fantastic. Every merchant should try and guarantee as much as possible that the orders aren't fraudulent.
I wonder who are the best and worst merchants at protecting you from fraud?

Yes, merchants should do what they can to minimise fraud.
How did you and they confirm who are you by phone?
And did the CD-Wow affiliate complain about the chargebacks? ;-)
