THEY SEND MY CREDIT CARD INFO OUT IN AN EMAIL... SEVERAL EMAILS.....   NONE
TO ME !!!!!!!!

Whatever you do, do not buy anything from A2Z Computers.  Their regard for
your privacy and the security of your credit card informationn is sorely
lacking.

I placed an order with them earlier this week.  It was the ELSA WINNER II
SAVAGE 4 AGP card.  It hasn't come out yet so since it wasn't in stock I
guess they don't do backorders or preorders so they sent me an email
cancelling my order a day later.  The only problem was the email they sent
contained the entire online order form I filled out on their "secure" order
site.   Meaning it had my identity and credit card info.

If this wasn't bad enough that they sent it to me in an unsecure email...  I
find out a little later as my Inbox fills up that they emailed it out to
lord knows how many other people also.... Thankfully most of these people
were nice enough to email me telling me that A2Z Computers sent them my
order cancellation with MY CREDIT CARD INFO !!!!!!!

Whatever you do.  Don't deal with them.  CNET Shopper has listed them as a
"certified merchant" but A2Z has a complaint list with the Better Business
Bureau a mile long as well as a new complaint from me for this.

Beware!
