Hey all,
This may be nothing, but I found some illegal activity on my bank account. The first two charges were to a company that I can not verrify even exists, Mesopia.com. Their customer service line is actually a hair salon in OK and has been for over 1yr. The number attached to the transaction is some chicks cell phone number in OK, 405-641-8251 her name is Madonna and she does not return calls (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/confused24.gif) So I tried to email customer service to no avail. Then, last night, I found two new charges on my card for porn sites. The least they could have done would be to provide me with the passwords for the sites I was paying for (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) Why does this matter to all of you? Great question. Because I found out about the other charges via bills emailed to my email address! I have my now cancelled card in my posession and think that maybe the perp hacked into some businesses computer and got my info. Since I only buy parts on line with my card at Pelican, GPR, and similar places like you good folks, I was thinking that you may be at risk as well. What made me also think this is that the info on the account was out dated. They used my CA address. I hope that I am the only one with this problem, but I would like to know if anyone else has had similar reacently. Maybe we can pin point which site got hacked, if one did. Any other ideas how this could have happened? |

You hear of credit card leaks all the time. It doesn't mean any particular company did it (it may even be unfair to point the finger without proof).
Here are some examples: mastercard (13.9 million cards lost) - http://news.monstersandcritics.com/busines...ter_1016215.php Card Systems (they process transactions for you - 40 million cards lost) http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20050923/...1312255_F.shtml BJ's - http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4516301 petco (500,000 credit cards lost) - http://www2.theregister.co.uk/2003/06/30/p...edit_card_leak/ |
