Oh, and what should show up a few minutes after my previous post on the
subject?  An e-mail containing a PDF of their merchant account activity
from the Dominican Republic branch of CardNET.  Apparently, they can't
even get their own domain correct with that one, either.  (Not to
mention the great confidence this inspires in CardNET, that they don't
verify e-mail addresses on their account.)

If only I didn't have scruples.  I wonder what I could do with their
merchant account number and their bank account numbers?  (Though I have
a feeling that the information on this statement alone wouldn't get one
very far.  Unless you were a professional at this, that is.)
