Two days after my son used a Paypal card at El Super ( formally El Tapatio ) the card had an attempted used at a Best Buy in Compton CA. Had this happened to me twice several years ago. My bank noted several cases unauthorizied card use after customers used their card at that market. They tried to buy something for $384 but it was denied due to lack of supporting information. It still has tied up the money for a few days.
Got to be an inside job of someone skimming cards and security codes.
If you shop there use cash.

I'll be careful next time I'm there.

Sign of the times!

There are douche-bags everywhere who are trying to scam people.
The last time I ordered from Pelican my card was used immediately after at a car parts outlet in Nor Cal. Luckily I have American Express, who I think is the best at contacting their holders, and it was taken care of right away.

Not much you can do about it anymore.

Bummer.

Online sale or did you speak with a sales rep? I always call to order.

Oops. I was referring to the pelican sale.
