i probably could have called, not something i wanted to do from the checkout line at walmart. It was easier to pull out different plastic.

I think they're on enhanced watch for ID theft.
Interestingly, we were contacted by our CC processor a couple weeks back about an international charge they didn't like... wanted us to refuse the order...

So you all know... there have been a few major thefts of CC info that should be making the major news networks now. One in particular group were caught very early and the CC actually canceled them all nearly immediately, other companies are playing the statistics game and waiting. Either way, if it wasn't bad enough that it's near the end of the year (holiday purchases and traveling out of state), the criminals stepped it up a notch (or 5) this year with their SS and CC theft. Expect your cards to get declined and try to have backup payment methods if you can.
@Digimon2K - I visited the site, but everytime I go to donate, I'm reminded I have family who also need the money
If witch or anyone remembers me talking about the Red Barn Auction... well, the normal auctioneer was my uncle, and he just passed away

I liked for the 1st paragraph...
My condolences (2nd para). Family comes first. Always.

I understand the caution. I've had a stop put on my card once when I was buying a piece of furniture or something. What made this one weird/annoying to me was that they were small amounts (and they were going to charities.)
Condolences on your uncle.
Thank you both! There is an oddity of births in the start of the year for us, and an oddity of deaths at the end. I'll take this over every week of the year being a reminder though.
Enough of the sadness and on to the goodness... small amount or large amount, doesn't matter. Crooks often aim for a small purchase before going for that large purchase. I can't speak on why your specific company took the action they did, but it's common to attempt a few 'good purchases' before going for that big 'bad' purchase... that alone could have triggered the decline... being at Wal-Mart may have done it... heck, being at that particular Wal-Mart at that exact moment may have been the trigger. It's really pretty bad this year. The people who sell dumps of stolen credit card numbers even offered a Black Friday special this year!
You can't be serious!
wait
yeah, you can be.
Well, I do know that card #'s can't be stolen from us... we don't keep a record of them. Well... the last 4 digits in case we have to do followups with our processor.
Our site also gets tested every month for vulnerabilities by TrustWave.
Completely serious... black friday discounts... advertised, black friday discounts... I always wondered though... these places (some of) accept credit card payments for their list of credit card dumps... I wonder how often they get paid for with stolen credit cards

That's funny! In an odd sort of way...
One liquid vendor, who shall remain nameless as it is NOT deejStuff, insisted he didn't keep CC numbers. I believe him. But his site (and no other that I have ever visited) was set up so it thought the space for the card number was just another space on a form. As soon as I'd type in the first digit, my whole card number would appear for me to select. That's fine if, like me, no one else has access to your computer. For people using a shared or, worse still, a public computer, it wasn't exactly ideal.
It's your browser offering up the number to you, but the site owner could have at least tried to use ```autocomplete="off" ```. There are other ways to try and prevent this, sadly some browser revisions still don't care and offer up your numbers anyway... plus there are plug-ins and extensions that prevent this from working as well.
I would hope that if someone is using their CC on a public computer, that the CC is disposable. It's just too easy to capture all keys etc on public machines.
My browser has never tried to fill in my credit card number at any other site. Chrome occasionally offers to remember my cc number for me but I always say "no." The fact that it only did it on that one site tells me there is something in the coding for the page didn't let the browser know it wasn't info that shouldn't be shared.
When I tried to tell him his site did that, he insisted I was wrong. Then again, he says that about anyone who disagrees with him. (I stopped buying his liquid when I found out he didn't use pharmaceutical grade nicotine. I learned this when an RN I know posted a review on a tiny, obscure site, saying she'd moved on for that reason. Since he hunted down every negative comment on the Interwebs about himself so he could post it and have all of us tell him how the other person was wrong and he was perfect, he brought it to our attention. He said he'd discussed it with her and she kept arguing just because she felt "foolish or stupid" for not understanding why pharmaceutical nicotine didn't need to be used.)
Anyway, I use one card for online and a different one for in person purchases. I figure that way there's very little chance of both numbers being stolen.
Good, sounds like you don't have any browser/extension issue...
Obviously, pharma grade (USP) nicotine doesn't need to be used for vaping... does anything ever 'need' to be pharma, lol, if you test easch batch and they are as pure or better than USP grade, then that's fine... but I'm not knowingly buying from any 'company' that can't at least adhere to buying pharma (USP) ingredients... I can only imagine the intended purposes of non-USP nicotine would be for cases where there will be no human/animal consumption... last I checked it wasn't even used as a pesticide anymore (in the U.S.). I figure this is similar to non-USP PG and VG... the quality control is different regarding the percentages of contaminants and exactly what they are.

Dragon Myst
I got this early in the year and didn't love it. It was too fruity for me. (I'm apparently the opposite of CES who has moved towards fruit flavors in her vaping preferences. I like them less than I used to unless they are combined with something. Although a lot of them do grow on me as I work my way through the bottle.)
I made a decision to vape by age for a while and make my way through my backlog. So, when I blew the atomizer I was using for Poeia's MG (I've got to learn to stop hitting the wattage button on my istick) I started a new one with Dragon Myst.
I freaking LOVE this flavor. The fruits are subtle. They blend together perfectly but each can be tasted distinctly. The vanilla brings it all together perfectly. I've gone through about 12ml in 3 days.
I'll definitely put a couple of bottles in my next order (and then stick it at the back of the shelf for a few months.)

Yep. I started out my adventure into Vaping trying to find a good clove substitute. But have pretty much given up on that idea and was on a sweet fruity kick but now am more into the not quite bitter but not too sweet kick. And finally finding some decent coffee flavors....gonna have to try witch1's next
