I have a funny story about Walmart and online theft. I got an email
from Walmart saying my order for a computer was ready for pickup. Uh,
what? I didn't order a computer from Walmart! Ready for pickup in
*California*?

I called Walmart. Said what the heck? I didn't order a computer.
Turns out the order was placed by a guy named Nuyeng something in
California. Sorry, I haven't lived in California since I was 8 years
old. I sure as heck didn't order a computer.

This idiot was so stupid when he hacked my account he forgot to change
the "reply to" email address. That's how I found out about it.

When I reported this to Walmart, they had a plan. They called him and
told him to pick it up at the Customer Service desk. They had security
cameras set up, police standing by. They arrested him. Kudos!

Of course I had to go through the hassel of changing everything
associated with that card. Hackers are thieves. They need to be given
a harsh sentence for ****ing around with peoples lives like that.
