Thumbs up Case closed.

FYI,

All the funds were re-paid (I got my $ back in a few days). After talking with an officer that was investigating it he said that internet purchases are still far safer for the consumer then face to face dealings. The most common rip off is when you give your cc or personal info to someone you think you know, (store clerk, waiter, etc) and he/she in turn sells that info to someone who actually steals from you. Also just groaping thru the trash for recipets with data on it is good enough most times. But in all cases the consumer is protected. If you get robbed face to face or your personal items are stolen, you are at a loss.

I would still rather deal with a machine and encryption to purchase my things, knowing that no matter what, even if someone impersonates me and moves or steals my $ I am protected.
