someone just made a fraudulent purchase with my credit card
 

and bought a membership at a site I promote :1orglaugh

kudos to cams.com for catching this and issuing a refund before I even called them about it.

So I dont get the cam minutes now?? :Oh crap :Oh crap

this was a new jersey thief, not a midwest thief :winkwink:

Man that sucks. any idea how they got your info?

I have no idea. I'm pretty careful with my cc info on the web and go so far as to shred all snail mail info before throwing it out.

Cams.com said the info didn't match up properly so that's how they knew it wasn't me. Perhaps they just guessed the number? I don't know if a transaction would go through with a false name or not.

Strange thing is they haven't purchased anything else at all, just a webcam membership lol

ffind his adress and fuck him up, he needs to be told a lesson

i never buy anything online with my credit card cause i know someone will try to fraud my card and buy something with it. But it's a good thing that the website caught it before you.

that's the weird thing; all I really use this card for online is to pay for webhosting, statsremote and domains. I don't think I've used it online for anything else since doing christmas shopping last year.

it makes me wonder if somebody's DB got hacked into or if it was an employee somewhere...

Majority of card stealers are from restaurants, not online. Think back to any stores you used your card at, and you're more likely on the right trail.

Sorry to hear about the misuse of your card.
It has happened to my hubby and I several times.
The last time it happened they racked up over $1500.
Everything they purchased was web related and our bank did
not see anything unusal with that. It wasn't until a server company
contacted us to thank us for using there services that we realised
that our details had been stolen. Thank goodness we got all the cash back though.
:)

Bingo.... At last someone that realise that a restaurant gets also the CVV and the signature....

bingo, I used to manage a restaurant for 2 years, 2 waiters from the place next door were caught with a 'parrot' - a little device that they carry in their pockets , customer gives them his CC, they swipe it, and all it takes is 3 seconds

Some one in Zimbabwe(sp?) tried to buy a plane ticket on my ex girlfriends AMEX card once. They caught it and called her about it before processing it.

But she was dumb and always fell for those phishing emails. :1orglaugh

lol, wtf we made almost identical posts

:1orglaugh

Is that how you met her ????

I haven't used this card for anything offline for months, except for purchasing gasoline. But even then it never leaves my hand, I just swipe it at the pump. The attendant never sees it.

Unless somebody took my info last year and has been sitting on it since then, I'm pretty sure it must have been taken online somehow.

LUCKY YOU!!:winkwink:

cancel your card asap!!

might want to take a look at this identity theft shield... that and the legal plan is pretty cool.

Yeah we have 20 full time staff just watching cards and fraud.

amateruflix: so somebody stole your cc info and somehow signedup to your cams.com link?

no they didn't sign up through my link. they did buy a membership at cams.com, but not from any of my links.

Fuckk him up ! :1orglaugh
