without reading the whole thread, did you call your
credit card company and dispute the charges?


I have online access to my credit-card statement and it appears to be
updated nearly in real-time. The charge (from a 20 May transaction)
hasn't appeared. And that, like everything else about this case,
leaves me perplexed: if the FBO submitted a charge to some credit-card
company and they were told the account number was bogus, why just send
me a nice, polite "Past Due -- Please Remit" invoice? And didn't they
see in the FAA database that the N-number wasn't even active yet?
Curiouser and curiouser ...


Be careful, this could be the snail mail version of the e-mail
phishing scams.
