Ive been mulling over whether or not to make this post, but i feel i must,at a minimum, give a heads up to everyone.
Three times, i've used a single card to a single ejuice vendor in NY, a few days later, my c.c. card was probed (tested to check if its valid) at the same hotel booking website for a hotel in Nags Head N.C. My c.c. company instantly flagged and suspended my account (thankfully), and contacted me, issuing a new card ETC;. 3 times this happened with the same, not unpopular ejuice vendor, before i went "DUH!"
I will not, for reasons of covering my backside, reveal who it is. Happily, it is the only vendor i have ever had this happen with
So please be careful out there guys and gals, not everyone in our friendly community has your best interest at heart, or just trying to be a small business owner in a massively fast growing industry. Its my hope that this is a isolated incident. My c.c. company has found the culprits and tell me the investigation is between them and the individuals involved, only telling me that that many credit accounts were involved.
Again, use virtual account numbers if your c.c. company has them.(if they dont, encourage them to) And NEVER use your bank card!
