How is your son doing?

People use that word when they are grave danger of death, not necessarily means that he died, right?

You are technically right, but it would be unlikely ("when I thought my son was dying" would have been a more likely expression).
While I would certainly hope for it to not be true, out of respect I would not focus on this side of the story regardless.

#331. If you put credit card, do chargeback and put your card on hold. Do not accept payment unless your lawyer tell you to do so. 2. Hire a lawyer. Make sure lawyer is competent in objecting all collection agencies. 3. Make it go viral. Try to reach out community to make story around it, like https://twitter.com/quinnypig
> If you put credit card, do chargeback and put your card on hold. I'm sorry, but this is poor advice. As per the Visa website, definition of a chargeback: "A chargeback (otherwise known as a dispute) is a way for your bank that issued your card to reclaim money from the retailer’s bank when you do not get the goods or services you paid for, including if the retailer or supplier has gone out of business." Therefore:…
AWS was defrauded into delivering services that the account holder did not request. Those services were not delivered to the account holder but instead the fraudster. Therefore a charge back is appropriate in order to "reclaim money from the retailer’s bank when you do not get the goods or services you paid for".

Disagree, but if in doubt get a good lawyer and follow their advice instead of some strangers from the internet.

Except that, pragmatically, credit card companies will refund the money if they want to keep your business. The way to resolve this is whatever way returns your money. I don’t need to look out for your best interest when I’m fighting for money that’s owed to me. That’s a ridiculous statement
