Apparently there's evidence that the charges originated at your house.

Have you been charged with anything yet? If so, speak only to your attorney.

i kno they are saying it orginated here but i do not own the house i live here everyone has a computer and we have wifi do they have any real evidence that it was me what do i do and no they are coming to speak with me sunday

No one here has any idea what evidence the police have against you. No one knows that but the police. If they are coming to talk to you on Sunday, I have one piece of advice for you.

Keep your mouth shut and refuse to speak without an attorney present.

If there was a network sniffer involved, then yes, they can tell which PC the data originated from. It's encoded in every packet that goes from one PC to another. They may also have the computer's name/workgroup, OS, browser, and the information imparted from tracking cookies.

what if all they have is evidence that it came from my house ip ?

Dude, that information is going to be available on the server where the fraudulent transaction took place.

The police are not going to tell you what evidence they have against you. It's also perfectly legal for them to tell you that they have evidence they don't actually have in order to get you to confess.

I repeat, when they come on Sunday, you need to tell them that you do not have anything to say without an attorney present. If they have adequate evidence, they'll arrest you.

Geekess, as somebody whom I hope to eventually be as knowledgeable as yourself, I still say the response you are giving here is quite generic and not necessarily true nor necessarily applicable to the OP's situation. I've been able to fake an IP, which was way too easy, and not quite so easily, a MAC address, (the latter was actually accidental, but I still did it, mind you), so your information may not be as pertinent as you are trying to make it.

The moral of my post: while what you're saying may be technically accurate to a certain degree, I'm not so sure that the OP's local law enforcement will be able to detect what I, and apparently you, am able to detect.

(for note: my use of the conjugation "am" in that last sentence has me confused; I used it correctly for the tense as it related to myself, but the interruption in which I introduced a third party has my utterly confused)

Furthermore, since there appear to be multiple computers in the home, I'm assuming that there's a router between the home computers and the network and they might only have the router's address.

In any event, the advice that OP was given is correct. Speak to an attorney and do not discuss it with ANYONE (police, roommates, people here, etc) without the attorney present.

You sure can! If you want to get caught in a lie to a police officer, that is. If the police traced your location via your IP address, it means that your ISP looked up exactly who was using the IP address at the time the crime was committed. The proxy and IP change means nothing, since most home internet accounts have dynamic IPs anyway.

Again. Stop trying to figure out a way to get out of it. You're not doing a very good job, and when your computer is taken as evidence, you can bet your ass that all of the google searches you did and posts on internet forums to try to figure out a way to lie to the police and get away with whatever you're trying to get away with will be used against you.

I'll repeat for the third time. Keep your mouth shut, and stop typing about it on the internet. DO NOT DISCUSS THIS WITH ANYONE BUT YOUR ATTORNEY. That includes anyone on the internet. Shut your mouth, turn off your computer, get a phone book and hire an attorney. Refuse to speak to the police without one.

Would this be an attempt to cover up your illegal usage of the card?

Hopefully she took the advice and left

Heh. I just realized it's posted in Juvenile Law. I wonder if she's like 16. I hope she forewarned her parents.
