CC Fraud. My turn.

[kj4lxw]

To be honest I have really been hesitant to buy anything lately because of all this. Been doing some trades to get juice but man am I paranoid. Went through all this a while back and don't want to risk it again. And it happened before I was into vaping and buying from any e-cig vendors.

See, it'd make things alot more comfortable ON MY end if I actually SAW SOME NAMES OF VENDORS so I can watch out for this type of thing.
I mean, If I get ripped off by dealing with one of these vendors when it could have been avoided I'm gonna be pretty ...... off.
There's talk of "protecting the vendors" but there seems to be LITTLE done to "protect the customers" which I THINK is WAY more important.
All I gotta say is just WAIT til I get ripped off. If I found out who it was I'd drive right over to their house and you'd better believe it. This doesn't fly where I'm from...

Well I've ordered from around 15 or more of them so I can't cut them all off plus it probably isn't the vendors fault.

see... same here, so I'm kinda scared. Granted I only put on the money I'm gonna spend, I STILL would like to know the main vendors the problems are coming from...

All well and good. Let me tell you what doesn't fly here. Making threatening remarks and naming vendors without 100 percent concrete evidence, which is very difficult difficult to obtain.

You would do well to remember it.

Ya so would I but it will probably end up being either one of the cc handling companies and the vendors are more than likely unaware of it. The only vendors I know of that aren't on ecf anymore are ones I never ordered from.

I agree with you, and I highly doubt it was a specific vendor. My bank doesn't even seem to particularly believe that it was the numbers directly being stolen. They seemed to feel there was a good chance it was someone running number generators, which have apparently gotten more sophisticated and easier to obtain....leading to a lot more people doing it leading to a higher statistical likelihood that you'll get hit. I think the onus is going to fall more squarely on banks to make come up with ways to make our cards more secure; apparently some already have passwords required on their cards even for online spending, and I would love to see mine do it, too.

I do wonder, though, if there is any way to determine whether it is any one "shopping cart" platform that is having the problem.

And what if turns out to be big tobacco or big pharma or some other anti-e-cig organization.
This is the kinda thing they would luv ta see, in fighting, civil war, self destructionism they prolly laughing right now.

No need to get smart with me.
All well and good. Let me tell you what I DIDN'T do here.
I didn't make any threatening remarks, NOR DID I name any vendors. NOR WILL I.

but thanks for reminding me what FLIES here. I already know this though.

Who is the vendor you purchased from? Good to let the rest of us know, so we don't get jacked as well.

jRP, I really think it has nothing to do with the vendors at all. The problem is most likely coming from the credit card processing companies that all retailers that accept visa/mc have to use. Most of the people that had their numbers stolen didn't have any vendors in common so there is no need to start naming vendors. As long as you use a visa or mc, you are not responsible for any fraudulent purchases and will not lose any money anyways.

Aloha, Keith

Anyone by chance have charges from ITUNES? BTW that is not the e-cig sites fault. It's some sort of spy ware or something floating around. It got me the other week and apparently got a good thousand + more people as well. Just curious if anyone had the charges like mine?
