If any of you guys have placed orders on Backcountry Gear I would check your credit/debit card accounts immediately. They announced a security breach a few days ago. I was affected and one of my accounts has experienced a large number of fraudulent charges.

mmmmmmm I hear the sound of the class-action plaintiff's bar attorneys saying "exercise your legal rights!"

Sorry to hear that.

A couple weeks ago my wife asked me what I bought at the bike shop for $112.90. I replyed "Nothing!.. What are you talking bout? " I called the shop and they told me that I spent that exact amount of $112.90 on 6/23/13. The guy thought maybe the bike shop didn't take the money until that day a couple weeksago. It turned out that Chase (their bank) debited every charge that shop collected on 6/23/13 again 13 months later. Chase Manhattan told the bike shop that it was a computer glitch. It took six days to get the money back. I hope you get yours quickly. I was also relieved I didn't buy a bike that day!

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
