Re: business cards

FROM CONSUMER AFFAIRS:

Julie of Chapel Hill NC (11/07/06)
I noticed a charge on my October bank account statement from Passport to
Fun. (I haven't double checked oether statements yet) First of all, I had
never heard of this co. and knew factually that I had not made a debit card
purchase through them. About 3 weeks prior to this, I had ordered brochures
from VistaPrint(charge was shown on my account). I googled Passport to Fun
and found the innumerable articles about this scam.

I called VistaPrint and spoke with a customer service rep there and told him
why I was calling and that I was aware of the numerous scam articles that
are resulting from this very problem. I asked him 3 different times how
Passport received my credit card info if I had not given it to him. I never
got a straight answer - only that if I had signed up for a membership, I
would be charged for it. I asked for written documentation which he couldn't
provide either. He finally told me that I would be credited within 7-10
business days for the amount. I emphatically told him that I would not only
follow up, but asked that he not put me in a position of having to turn this
over for legal assistance.

I called my bank, they were wonderful! They have cancelled my card and are
issuing a new one with a different number. They will be on the lookout for
the credit - even under a different business name. I was also told by the
bank that sometimes charges can come through under different business names
(so change the account #!) I'm really a nice person, but can sure sound
otherwise when I need to get results!!!

VISTA PRINT Why would anyone defend these theifs?

Interesting. I've used them several times using Visa and never had any of
this
***. I keep it simple and go straight for the bizcards and avoid the
rest of
it. Methinks people may well have let their mouse stray onto some
gimmick on
the page.

Can one print one's own business cards on a personal printer and
is it cheaper to do so than to, say, pay Staples to do it? If so,
how does one do it?
