The answers are no and yes. He will not get the money back and they now have information needed to cause some serious damage to mom. Advise mom to contact the credit card company immediately and block all new activity. They will send her a new card with a different #. They don't have to steal the identity, he's already supplied it to them. Mom can attempt to dispute the charge but because your friend initiated the transaction she will probably be unsuccessful.
You're ordering Chinese sneakers from a Russian website. If your money is gone, that's the best that can happen. Identity theft is a really big possibility here as well. Don't order any knock off products, especially from Russian or Chinese sources - you might as well post your credit card information online for free.
Yep, absolutely. You need to go down to the bank and have them freeze that credit card right away before the scammers use it. I don't think they can steal identity through a credit card transaction, just the card number. Keep an eye on credit score and bank account for a while afterwards just in case though.
The bank will refund the money, since it was stolen.
.ru means it's out of Russia...why would your friend trust anything out of a country with a reputation for crime, anyway?
He needs his mother to cancel the charges ASAP. That's a Russian site (.ru) selling counterfeit Chinese goods. She needs to cancel her card before they charge thousands of dollars to it
Your child's healthcare provider may recommend that you look into having a childcare provider like a nanny, babysitter, or relative come to your home. If that isn't possible, you may want to find a childcare provider who cares for a small group of children in her home.

dont trust any websites that aren't secured. i recently had someone try to take about 600 dollars from me because i used an unreliable website. go to his bank and report it. it could take some time, but he should be able too. just be careful where you order from!
No
So what is he going to tell the bank? "Hi, I was trying to buy something illegal, and they scammed me!" Legally the bank has to help him if he was scammed, but the fact that he was committing a crime ends any and all obligation on the part of the bank.
The site registration has been revoked. Odds are the guy is long gone or in jail. The money is likely confiscated. The Chinese government keeps money that is confiscated.

Now did he learn that only someone stupid buys replica merchandise? Those dealers are the worst of "gutter trash" and are on the same level as crack dealers.
If anything, the dealer did him a favor by not sending the shoes. Who did he think he was going to fool with them anyway? They would have been low quality crap.
