Search for the word "Kerry" at the URL below to read a comment  
detailing how the scam works and how widespread the problem is.   
(Other comments below Kerry's confirm her account of matters, but as  
usual, this is a matter for people to confirm individually in their  
own circumstances.)

This is urgently important info not only for consumers but also for  
any online seller who uses a third-party shopping cart or credit card  
processing service, because some such services (including but not  
limited to VirtualCart.com) are apparently openly/unapologetically in  
on the scam.
