If this many people have charges its more likely one of the card issuers. I doubt that its on the processor end. Id bet in the next few days well read about where the breach was on the news. Its likely alot of people not just ecig consumers.
I don't know about that. Looks like multiple banks and Cc co's. Common link here are two vendors.
I think it has to do with USA banks not taking ecig venders accounts so they have to go overseas to countries like africa etc.. I know RTS was having to look at out of country banking because he ships international and USA banks will have none of that
It appears I have also been hit by this and purchased from AVE in the past week and a half. I had 4 taxact charges and another tax company charge hit my account earlier today. Now I have to go back through my statements and see what else is not a valid charge. Super bummed because I caught it this morning when I got off from work, closed my card with my bank right away and then went to sleep. Now that I'm awake I realize I have no cash since the banks are closed lol and now have to wait until tomorrow to get a temporary card.
This happened to me a couple years ago, drained $300 from me. The only vendors I ordered from at that time were AVE and BWB. It must be some issue with their processing.
I feel your pain. Had to resort to writing checks at the grocery store. Unfortunately,I compromised my husbands card too since I ordered a ton of stuff over the weekend. Arggg!
Ordered froe alien vison juices and hoosier vape and just got hacked for 200$ money i am luckily getting back. Still very irritating
Sorry everyone 
I haven't been charged for anything yet but keeping an eye on my bank statement since I ordered from rawrvapor recently

check with your local bank. Sometimes they will give gift cards at no fee, or you can upgrade your account to get them for free. The only problem is the exact amounts, kinda hard to spend $.28 on the internet
Ugh! I hate that this is happening to all of you. I truly hope everything is corrected for you. Definitely an eye opener for me.
I just ordered from hoosier...yikes. Since it's too late, what I did do was get text alerts activated for any charges on the cc's I'm using.
I too was awakened by a call from chase fraud prevention this morning. someone tryed to open a napster account and pay for a 'search' service with my cc info. SO, I paraded on down to my local branch and got my temporary card.
sigh.

Try to use Bluebird dude. Or buy a Prepaid card from your Actual Card. It can protect you from getting hacked.
This has been ongoing for a long time. Unfortunately I was hit 3 times with this last year and posted my frustrations in another thread. The very best advice I got was to get a Paypal debit card. I've never had a problem since. There are no restrictions on ecig purchase (like when using your Paypal account directly) plus every time you use it a receipt is emailed to you immediately. There are no costs associated with the card and you can set minimum amounts if you like. It's my online "go to" card of choice for ANY purchase now
It's worth a look see if you have a Paypal account and dont want to spend money loading pre-paid cards. It's been a great tool for me. I hope this was as helpful to someone else as it was for me.
btw: I only order from both rawr and litecig......I've never had a problem yet. Both vendors are top notch in my book.... I believe the problem lies with hacked credit card processing agencies. Not the vendors.

I was once a victim of online fraud and yes it does suck! Luckily I caught those .......s right on time and canceled my CC when my transaction on its pending state.
It seems to be an epidemic right now. I had started another thread on this here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...ep-close-eye-your-credit-card-statements.html
