Shopping on the web can be rather exciting in surprising ways at times. I ordered some books from Traplet using their web shop a couple of days ago, but my bank was suffering from technical difficulties (of an, of course, unspecified nature) so Traplet couldn't charge my credit card. When I checked my email in the evening there was an email from Traplet with all my credit card details ("Could you please confirm …"). Only one thing to do: get on the phone and cancel the credit card ASAP. Fortunately I succeeded in cancelling it before some not so honest person relieved me of my savings. No books, but a large mess and an apology; shopping on the web can be such fun. I better stick to building paddlers.:D
Cheers/T
How could any company be so stupid??
Emails are easily intercepted, and no-one in their right mind would transmit personal data via email, especially credit card details!
I'd write to Traplet and tell the guys at the top exactly what happened Torbjörn - Their staff obviously need a good kick up the backside!

Rather unbelievable.

I did email Traplet, but I don't think it reached the guys at the top. And I was a wee bit too aggravated to be diplomatic :) But I did get an apology …
