Thank you for sending this info! It was for some good Hans started this 
thread open to this list! I'm going to print your mail to be able to 
hand it to my bank in case! Europe Is One Europe.

Some days ago I had a request from www.bol.de to pay my bill again 
(though they had my money via VISA for some weeks, already!).

  In my case I only had to type all my "open" info on this transaction 
and say it would go directly to my lawyer if they didn't state my terms 
as "correct". They (www.bol.de) did so and told me about a "technical 
error" on their billing system.
I really assume this kind of false business will increase, when everyone 
continues to not check his/her folders & records (oh, of course it's 
really boring) and doesn't post it to some official mailing-list...

Thanks to Hans Reiser,
and I'd like to hear about his efforts here though Jens doesn't want it...
