They must only have started doing that recently. This project has been out in the wild for at least a year.

Well, kudos to them for doing that, at least. Of course it's awful that you could be out ~$3k, but imagine how bad it could have been if they hadn't been so proactive.

Yeah, it would have been another day at least before I checked amazon again.

Luke, drop me a note at werner [at] amazon with a link to the support ticket you created, and we'll see what we can do.

Wow, talk about customer service!

Ha - no --- they do that when they see a spike in charges.

Or maybe it's just a coincidence they emailed immediately AFTER he racked up +3000$ in charges.
