Credit Card Fraud

[daverave999]

Yeah that was the forum I saw Stevie. I think it's one of those sites where you can't mention 'sources'. Googling both those odd names comes up with Swedish stuff for me.

That said, those who are concerned and wish to use a prepaid card might find this and this useful.

oops and i just placed an order from [EDIT: ALLEGED SITE HERE] now! im gonna watch my bank statement like a hawk

[Boss Hog]

I just got an order from them yesterday and I was more than happy and will use them again.

Could even be one of those internet rumours sparked off by a bad customer/digruntled employee/rival firm.

To answer a few questions..
The link posted above to the other forum is where I saw this too.
It does not necessarily have anything to do with the shop mentioned but possibly the warehouse they use, at least 2 other Swiss online cigar shops use the same one.
Anyway there is no hard evidence yet, just circumstantial and coincidental. By all accounts the shop has very good customer service.
Names of the shops were posted on the other forum until removed by mods over there.
I never said not to use any particular shop, just to keep an eye on your credit card statements.
I would have no qualms about using my card with any particular shop. Credit card fraud happens, it's just one of those things. It will rarely leave you out of money, it's the inconvenience really.
My point was, suddenly, in the last week or two, a number of people who have used their card at a couple of Swiss cigar shops have been hit by fraud. It would be worth keeping an eye on your statements for a while in case it is not picked up.
Shop away!

Bien dicho, Ryan.

Ning?n sentido corriendo alrededor con nuestro pelo en el fuego mientras difamando a un vendedor de calidad en el proceso. Mis amigos han estado usando a este vendedor durante a?os con fuera el problema.

Y siempre es una idea buena para guardar un ojo en tus cuentas sin tener en cuenta d?nde compras en el internet.

Personal experience my friends.

Have you had a fraudulent transaction from them on your credit card Larry?

I'm glad I purposely didn't mention any actual names so that I couldn't be done for slander and then you all go and mention the site by name in each subsequent post. Will now have to edit the entire thread. *sigh*

Good job, Sir Deano

It's a tough job, but...

I agree with your decision to edit the posts. No sense in spreading unsupported and possibly false rumors on a public forum (where's the beef?). Use of the PM for anyone who wants the name was a smart move. That's why you are the... KING OF ALL MODERATORS!

Hello, my name is BJ, errrr, sorry, I mean TJ, TJCoro, and I trust in Sir Serious!*

Yeah!!! What , , and said.

I apologise if I stirred things up a bit with this thread.
The only reason I started it was to give people a heads up.
I don't discuss vendors by name on public forums.
