I guess the thing that has me most puzzled is him providing an authorization number. Only the issuing bank can provide this.

Additionally, have you notified your local authorties?

Dave,

You are right in saying that he provided an authorization number and only the bank can provide this. The person in our office that processed the card was unaware of this. It wasn't brought to my attention till much later when the charge back came to me.

The Authorities have been notified, but they have a much further reach than our "local" authorities.

Thanx Jeff.

About David Scott Mosher
I just read Your post about Mr Mosher and Im amazed he is still scamming people around the world. I wrote a ComplaintsBoard message on his credit card scams a year ago and Im still paying the bank the money he stole from us. We are the owners of a UPS STore in San Juan Puerto Rico and Mr Mosher utilized false credit cards and authorization numbers to purchase services and marketing materials. As all you know he then proceed to claim chargebacks on the purchases and then dissapeared when called to respond for his actions. Before doing the transactions we were somewhat skeptical of the guy so we asked him to provide scans and faxes of the credit cards drivers license with proof of residence. He also sent us credit card billing statements of one of the cards he used The Owner is a Mexican Woman called Nancy Guajardo. WE HAVE ALL THAT INFORMATION ON FILE. WE ARE STILL TRYING TO GET THIS GUY HE EVEN THREATENED US IF WE DIDNT STOP POSTING THIS INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET.
I HOPE THIS INFORMATION CAN HELP TO FINALLY GET THIS GUY. IF YOU KNOW THE PROPER CRIMINAL PROCEDURE TO TRY AND CONVICT THIS GUY LET ME KNOW I WOULD GLADLY SUBMITT THE INFORMATION I HAVE ON FILE.
