    Default CC Fraud. My turn.

    Yep, it happened to me. I ordered from a couple of Ecig suppliers and I have about $100 in charges I never made. Anyone want to commiserate?

    I'm sure its still a hacker ...

    So my question for the mods is how many users need to be ruined by this before we can publicly post sites that it COULD have happened on? This is getting absurd and its a huge blow to the forums, the industry, and especially business owners who do it the right way.

    I have never had a problem and don't intend to.

    I am not sure if this will help but, I have a post about this on NV and it seems there has been a lot of this going on recently. I am not sure I can post the link so I will refrain from doing that but you can do a search there and find it easily. I use the same screen name there as I do here so it shouldn't be hard to find.

    Aloha, Keith

    i've used 2 of the sites in post 3 and got a couple of charges on my card. i've since had that one cancelled and got a new card.

    now i'm just using my Discover card since they have a thing that will generate a new number each time i order online. no one gets my real card number. if it happens again, i'll know what vendor it was from.

    I removed the names because that wasn't the point of putting them up there most have used them and had no problems whatsoever.

    The reason I buy from big time businesses is because they have LITTLE motivation to steal $100 if it would cost them millions by being shut down. They also can afford proper security or can hire someone who can do it for them.

    Here's a weird question, do you guys all run Windows based PC's?

    I have Vista but I also run numerous anti spyware, anti malware, firewall, virus protection, encrypted router and frequently run scans of all kinds. No intrusions so far. My suspicions is that it is coming from the credit card companies that do the collections and payments for online transactions. I seriously doubt any supplier would risk ruining their reputation and we all know Visa will investigate this to the best of their ability. I have faith they will get to the bottom of this soon and on the bright side, Visa/MC does not hold you responsible for these fraudulent charges and the money is reinstated quickly.

    I should probably add it has everything to do with the security of their servers (or more likely the servers they house their web sites on) not to do with the OS you are using.
