Got too hot too quick, no painting... feeBay listings it is!

Boardo, I seriously recommend trying acupuncture before surgery - heck, I recommend you try it before you try PT. I know acupuncture is not a cure-all, but it can work where Western modalities don't. It's worth trying before getting drastic.

I have read some things here about the problem with a supplier... I don't know what one... but they got my Card #... made over $150 in charges.....

Get everything verified with the bank and report to someone on ECF if it is a supplier... I don't know what all to do, but do something liblie1!

Sorry about the really terrible "joke" earlier, not funny I know.


Sorry liblue, there is way too much CC fraud going on in the vaping community.
I've heard it's not the vape shops, but the CC processors.
It doesn't really matter who is at fault, it's a crappy situation.
Good luck getting it all straightened out.

Got my card jacked the other day but for the first time ever, PayPal for the win. Not for catching it, but just because I get emails on each transaction and cancelling the card took about 10 secs online..

Pretty sure it was a local business rather than vape but who knows.

all this talk of card theft and fraud has me worried. i should check my bank statements tonight. always a good idea to keep up with them, especially with all the miscellaneous online purchases.
met with my partner in regards to our event this saturday. he said he is 2.5k over budget, which was originally supposed to be capped at 10grand..... what the heck!?
i immediately demanded a comprehensive expense report, i feel like i could have done this show for 8,000 give or take, and he has already spent 12.5!?? arghhhh, this is our profits!!! we have to payback this money plus interest, and whats gonna be left over!? we have over 1100 people confirmed, and are expecting 1500+, if we hit the latter number we will be paid well.... crossing fingers and praying for the best outcome :)

Found at my local CVS drug store. Sadly... NOT what I had hoped.

My M.O for online shopping safety is a debit card with only enough money in the account to pay for my purchase that day. I set it up with no overdraft. It's not linked with any other accounts. I have to go to the bank and make a deposit if I want to shop online. It's a credit union and I pay $0 in fees, other than driving to and from the bank. It's not convenient at all, but it's the safest thing I have been able to come up with. If someone (including me) tries to use my card number with my very limited balance, the charge will not go through due to insufficient funds.
I've seen thousands of card numbers and their CVV2 codes in my years of customer service. I know that I was always honest and legal, but I can't say the same for my co-workers. I even remember carbon copies, what a nightmare those would be these days.
