Online fraud. Cornerstone of any successful ecommerce store. Autostyle is no exception. Every week we cancel a bunch of orders which slip through the banks, slip through the online gateways and end up ‘approved’ in our mail boxes.

We do have measures in place to prevent this and having less then 5 charge backs over 3 years is a pretty good average I think.

The scammer below sent us a copy of his credit card and Identity Document as part of our verification process.

I’m offended, at least have the decency and professionalism to send proper ‘fake’ documents instead of this newbie induced photoshop vomit.

Seriously – this is the original image he sent.

Thanks to Aasia for posting this on her blog:

Imam Anwar Al Awlaki Released From Custody

Cageprisoners.com can confirm that Imam Anwar Al Awlaki was released from prison on 12th December 2007, after almost a year and a half behind bars in Yemen.

We thank all of you who took action on his behalf and remembered him in your prayers.

If you would like to send Imam Anwar a message, please email us at contact@cageprisoners.com and we will pass it on.

Alhamdulillah this is great news. I urge all the brothers and sisters to send a quick email to Imam Awlaki, telling him how happy we are that he has been released from his unlawful and undeserved imprisonment, back to his family and friends. May Allah protect our scholars and students of knowledge from the oppressors and the dictators of the world.

There are two different men mentioned in Surat-Qisas and Surat Yasin as coming from the edge/outskirts of the town who both support the respective messengers of that chapter in the Quran.

I noticed the same wording in Damascus and I asked one of my teachers, being a student of Sheikh Adib Kallas, and at first he said it meant nothing.  Then he pondered.  He told me people who are far from other people do not get sucked up into the same mode of thought and are able to spot truth more easily and do not get caught up in group think that is dangerous.

One example of this might be in the Deep South where racism was rampant because everyone in the Deep South was caught up in it even though all of the outside observers knew this was wrong.

In sufism, I studied that spending too much time with people is problematic because you start to think too much like other people and you open yourself up to dangers such as backbiting and slander or the people you spend too much time with are better than you and you cannot afford them their rights.

Try to step out of society and think about things from a fresh perspective every now and then.  Perhaps you might gain from it.
