Everytime I read one of these stories it makes me that much more nervous about ordering from over the pond.

Yeah, one of the first things I do is run a WHOIS search on the site I am buying from. Then I ask friends, check forums, etc. All three checked out.

It's possible it wasn't one of these sites fault, but the math adds up.

Update: BofA will do nothing until the transaction posts. I think that's rather backwards, no? If I were a bank, I'd bend over backwards to cancel payment before it was made.

Cigar.com is a legit and very big outfit. Never heard of the other two- doesn't mean anything necessarily, but I don't think the problem is/was with cigar.com
