Hello Johard59. I ordered a sweet water pipe from Smokewire.com on the 15th or 16th. of Sept. (last month). Then I received this email:

Hello,
You made transactions on the website smokewire with a credit card that does not belong to you.
A big number of payments are contested by people who do not recognize a transaction on their bank account details because a relative of them have used their credit card without any authorization.
For this reason we must make sure that the cardholder agrees with these transactions and we would be grateful if you may put us in touch with him (by phone only).
You can ask him to contact us at this number + 33 1 80 89 51 86 begin_of_the_skype_highlighting**************+ 33 1 80 89 51 86******end_of_the_skype_highlighting begin_of_the_skype_highlighting + 33 1 80 89 51 86 end_of_the_skype_highlighting or give us a number to contact him.
You must know that using the card of a third person is strictly forbidden by the law, even if this person is a relative or a family member.
We want to point out that, without a confirmation from the cardholder within 48hours, we will be obliged to consider that the card has been used fraudulently and that the cardholder does not agree with the payment.
We will have then to contact the issuing bank in order to cancel the payment, which will lead to high overdue fees and, if you refuse to pay for it, legal proceedings.
We thank you for your cooperation.
Kind regards.
