Made a MEH purchase at 12:07 and at 12:17 a purchase for $98.24 hit my credit card from a company I never heard of. Does Meh know there are some suppliers who cannot be trusted? Meh was the only purchase I made on that card today.
The one thing I love about shopping online or anywhere with my CC is that I can ALWAYS be refunded for any purchases I didn’t make!
BTW, I just opened a piece of mail today from a state agency saying that their website was breached and they are offering 2 years of fraud alerts free of charge to me. So it happens everyday, everywhere, and to anyone!
Jus sayen…
Our site does not store your card information locally. Our billing system is run by Stripe.com. Stripe operates billing services for many of the world’s largest online sites and services such as Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and many more. If that system were compromised, at any time, it would be international news. All card information is stored exclusively within their system, so no one within our company, nor anyone visiting our sites can access that information as it is not saved anywhere within our systems.
It is much more likely that your information was stolen from another site or service or that you have a browser extension harvesting your details.
Also worth noting that you’ve been placing orders with us since 2015. Websites that scam customers don’t normally last more than a few months, if that long. Please dispute the charge with your bank.
Might be worth giving your electronic device a good thorough check for malware. Make sure you don’t have any browser extensions on your browsers.
With my phone, before I install any app I always ask myself “do I really need to install this?” The more apps you have installed, the more windows you leave open for people to exploit. Be suspicious of anything newly created.
I’m about as tech savvy as a wet fart. I’ve been living under the delusion that if I have an iPhone, it can’t get hacked. Is that still true and if not can someone please tell me how I can check and see if my phone has been compromised? It’s running so slow and my battery dies within hours. I have an IPhone 13 Pro Max. Thanks in advance for any help.
@candiedisilvio1 well take From me which has been doing computer tech hardware support for big corpse for over 20 years. They all use Apple hardware cards it’s the most secure. But also know there is no system that is 100% secure. Google/ Android is one of the least secure. I see things in tech reports all the time about how you had to patch this and that and it most the time ends up being a B in Microsoft or android. You must keep up with all the updates.
@candiedisilvio1@mycya4me What’s scary is that the threat doesn’t always have to “be coming from inside”. Lots of “man in the middle” attacks can potentially happen (think “pick pockets” versus muggers or a fake cashier), though it’s almost too complicated for most normal criminals to bother with.
A rather high-profile case would be a credit card skimmer ring in Phoenix, AZ who placed fake credit card readers along every ATM or Gas Station along a stretch of road.
A friend of mine has personally gotten all of his Chase-based credit card data compromised to the point that, upon asking for a new card, there were unauthorized purchases made before the replacement arrived. (He is in the process of switching banks; while Chase refunds all the purchases, that he has to report them to get a refund was too annoying.)
