Ahlusion, 2nd time my credit card has been used fraudulently after buying there!

[Dodgey]

I am sorry this is my first post but I am furious.

I love Ahlusion e-juice but this is second time after buying from them that my Credit Card was used fraudulently, this time a debit of $49.95 from 877-294-9051 dot om out of Florida. I know this for sure as my Ahlusion order was the only transaction that I did with this card. I noticed on the Ahulsion thread in the e-liquid section that a number of other members have had the same thing happen.

Something needs to be done about this. Have Ahulsion ever responded to this?

Oh my god! Thank you very much for the warning! I am a new user and have been a little hesitant about which web site to order supplies from. I will definitely steer clear from Ahlusion.

Sounds like they've been hacked. Cancel that card immediately!

I bought several times from Ahlusion and had no issue. Have you notified them and your bank? They should be able to track where the transaction came from. I now buy my juice from two different companies and no problems with them either. Good luck.

In general everyone should be reviewing their bank statements on a regular basis.

Last year, between my vaping gear and gun gear, I had to switch ATM debit cards 3 times due to fraudulent activity. B of A finally asked me to get a credit card. I don't like CCs or have a need for them. However, they said that a CC would potentially limit my liability, as compared to my ATM debit card, since I have multiple accounts linked to it.

It's not the vender's fault. It's the processing company. Make sure your vendors are aware of any fishy activity.

Sorry you got hit with this... I understand it's a hassle but you are the one who can do something about this.

Contact your local police department and ask them who you need to contact to report the crime. File a report.

Contact the bank who issued your card and report this to them.

Contact Ahlusion and report this to them and ask them to have their credit card processing company investigate.

Taking all the necessary steps to report this to law enforcement and the banks is the only thing that can aid in getting these low-lifes shut down.

Yeah this is true it's probably not Ahlusion's fault it's the company that is taking your credit card information.

I've been ordering from Ahlussion for the past 4 months with no problem.

However, my Chase credit card (which I have not used in 6 months) got hit last night with a charge of $49.95 from 877-441-2916 dot com out of Florida. Fortunately, Chase automatically denied the charge and emailed me for confirmation as to the validity of the charge.

Its not the folks at Ahlusion stealing/using the card info
My card was also hit with the $49.95 fraud charge last month.
I was also hit back in June, on a now closed/cancelled card, and this was prior to ever ordering from Ahlusion.
I now check my accounts DAILY

I've purchased several times recently from Ahlusion and my card was not hit. However, my mom has never ordered from there nor from any vape supplier and her card was hit. It's rare that fraud charges have anything to do with any sort of reputable merchant. It happens higher up the card processing food chain than that.

Some other members said its the payment processor of Ahulsion doing the fraud.

Why doesn't Ahulsion use paypal???

It has to be Ahulsion, the first time it happened two months ago (this time diet pills costing $49.95) I blamed my local Korean Deli and caused a huge scene in there. It was only them and Ahulsion that I had used the card. That card was cancelled and I have only used the new card once to buy e-juice from Ahulsion last week and again the fraudulent activity occured a couple of days later.

I have to go to the Korean Deli tonight to say sorry now, oops.

Paypal in the U.S. forbids the sale of nicotine products. No U.S. juice vendor can legitimately use Paypal for transactions.

When I had something similar happen last winter I talked to my bank about it, and they said that hacking of sites is not the main cause. Apparently a lot of these thieves are running large amounts of relatively random numbers, and when one does work they can then use that as a base to run similar numbers through the same bank.

Another common problem is virus or malware problems where the numbers that you type are sent back to the source. The best way to avoid that is to always run a good, up to date antivirus program.

Don't be too quick about blaming vendors and clearing houses for this.
