Credit card fraud

[fxRich]

I ordered Some nic base last month from MFS. A week later someone in Georgia attempted to purchase a big screen TV using my credit card info. The only time I used that card in the last 3 months was at MFS. Anyone else had this happen to them?

There was another thread a couple days ago regarding the same issue.

Haven't had that problem. But, most likely MFS had nothing to do with it; it was probably their credit-card processor.

ETA: I'm not sure your thread title is exactly fair; it's pretty much a certainty that MFS had nothing to do with the fraud or the compromise of your credit info.

Also since this thread is not in an MFS supplier forum, they aren't able to respond to it.

Regardless of who's fault it was, I'm finding a different supplier for my DIY supplies.

the only time I ever had credit card fraud was using the coke machine at the college. That was 6 weeks after purchasing from MFS, so it's not related I don't believe. Many people order from them, but not many report problems such as this.

Generally, fraudulent charges aren't due to vendor compromise. In the vast majority, it's either an issue at a place where the card was used in the past (copying credit card information, skimmers, etc.) or malware on the computer. Very rarely is it due to e-commerce vulnerabilities within the software/server.

If you have questions regarding these charges, there's an ongoing discussion here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...freedom-smokes-unauthorized-transactions.html
