Wow, that's in Calgary... It's odd to see something so... local! Also, Telus
is not very friendly to people who commit fraud on their network. I would
give Telus a call... If you also have a date-stamp, they might be able to
track it to the actual house where the transaction took place.
http://www.telus.net is a place to start.
btw, we also post the remote IP in bright red right above the "Order Now"
button... That may have accounted for our lack of any fraud recently. People
don't realize how not-anonymous they are on the Internet.
