try as i might i canot get hold of a copy of sdoe here in the uk. I cannot get it online cause i do not have a credit card.So i am in bind. So what do u guys suggest I do. I have rang, visited all known shops in my area and i have no clue in how to get it. So is it possible for some one to get a copy and i will send them the money and postage costs. Just send a copy of the recipt via email. or alternatively they can burn a copy if that is ok. I prefer that former method, but if all else fails. well beggers cannot be chosers.

Yes I am old enough to get a card, but due to the fact that I am in between jobs at the moment, no company would give me one. In fact I would never have such a thing, too expensive and a rip off. Also the internet is so insecure for credit cards details to put online.

thanks anyway.

Jerry i know loads of people with credit card, but they would never use it to buy a game online. Beside out of work out of people's minds. So the answer is no. This is the sad fact of life.

Anyway thanks for the interest.

A friend had dinner at a bar/restaurant state-side. Paid with a credit card. Later a bunch of charges showed up - it turned out the waitress had used the credit card number to pay for a bunch of drinks that friends of hers had ordered!

A rare to be sure (my friend won the lottery)but it just goes to show you that stuff can happen.

No interent security is no worse than the USA, we just feel that it is foolist to such important details via the net. The net is not that secure world over. So with all the security breaches mentioned in the USA and stories of hacker screwing up websites, people will not use it until security is improved.

A US computer analysis said on the bbc that the value of internet security in the US is virtually zereo. As with the waiter conning u, after an evening meal, you can always go back or challenge it if u have a problem. After all we all get itemised bills and we know what we pay for, while in the resturant. If you have extra charges on ur bill, complain and produce your bill for that evening, I am sure it will conflict with what the waiter paid through and what is on ur recepit. If then call the police and see the manager.

MM footnote to internet security. I just got my phone bill and I charges for phone calls to the internet , that I should never had. It seems that someone access the BT line and got my dialup connection change. There was an artical in a computeractive (uk people will know this mag) about a guy who surf the net through Cable and wireless and found that he had made calls to moldova. It seems there is a scam going where some sites, give u some software and without realising it, that software changes your dial up connection without u knowing it. So this is not limited to the Uk, but anybody that is on the net.

As for internet security, no I still do not trust it, especially what happen today, this not a UK problem is the whole interent community that has to sought it out.

As for stopping the waiter ripping you off, well you can stop him/her, but you cannot stop him/her from giving your number to his/her friends, but at least you can get the waiter and you know where there work and who to contact if there are problems.In fact if one does not trust people to be honest in places of entertainment, tnen do not use the card,(i do not trust the net for the same reason) or at least check the bill, don't we do that if we pay cash?

This not the same on the interent, you have a problem , well they can tell you to get stuff, and no one is going to help you, say if you live in China and order a pc from America and the company sends you the wrong product.what are u going to do? How are you going to get the money back?

The same thing happened to me almost a year back - I got my credit card bill and was surprised to find the charge of around 60 quid on my bill. Surprising because it had been over a year since I had been in the UK and more surprising since after I called the credit card company, I found out that my number had apparently been charged in a restaurant! I only had to fill some forms and the company covered me. So I didn't lose out except for the mild inconvenience although one has to wonder about the general inefficiency of it all - after all, with stuff like this SOMEBODY is losing out.
