    Credit card fraud

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    How do you deal with this in your online biz? Luckily, I have only experienced it once for a very small amount (under $30!). Do you have any systems in place? After my experience, I look twice at orders whose billing and shipping addresses are different, but that is really the extent of...

    INVESTING 
    A few years ago we started these accounts for our kids. We did it because of some tax incentive and the accounts are very small. The amounts that could be added had limits. We have 3 (one account per kid; roughly $1200, $4,100, $3600 respectively). Yesterday I received notice from Wachovia...

    REAL ESTATE 
    We just had a tenant move out. Amazingly he had the carpets shampooed (a first for us!). Even though he left the house in great shape there is a cigarette smoke smell. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a "quick" fix. Thanks,
