So I recently received a new credit card, and over the past week or so, used it a few times. Today I checked my balance online, and found out that it has been suspended.
Upon further investigation, I find out someone in the UK has attempted a number of transactions today, which triggered the ban on the new card.
I've reviewed my transactions with this card for which there haven't been many, and most of them have been run-of-the-mill things, at places I frequent often.
One of the transactions however, was a very small adult-related one, which is relatively irrelevant, except for my mindset. As it was an adult-related transaction, even though there is no specific logic to this assumption, I now wonder (for no good reason) if I would trust this particular 3rd party biller again, for anything in the future.
I am in the biz, and even
I am now questioning how my shit was hijacked, and mentally deciding (without any proof or reason) that it must have been the adult-related transaction that was to blame.
I will not name the site or the billing company, because there is zero proof they were involved, but I likely won't join a site via this 3rd party processor again, just because it is all so coincidental. All I will say is it WAS NOT CCBill, but naming the biller or site is meaningless, because it's all just assumption and conjecture.
There is no reason to post this, other than to point out the obvious, which is that there are many people out there who are scared to use a credit card for an adult-related transaction, and it is easy for anyone (including myself) to think twice about pulling out a card, especially when there truly is so much free shit out there as a fall-back.
Beat you to it!
