I've heard of people getting money fraudulently taken from their credit card but it always gets returned.

I'm not saying they weren't treated badly but something sounds sus.

Our rural towns have plenty of backpackers. Picking fruit and serving beer mainly. It must be easier to find unskilled work than in the city.
