Lucky Mobile phone cards as a test then $10k worth of airline tickets after an FOC purchase three and a half months ago.
CC company reversed the charges and sent me a new card, but that's a lot of stress and 4 hours on the phone I won't get back.
I now have an 'online only' card that I lock via my banking website or app, then unlock it to make a purchase and lock it again after the purchase goes through.
Same issue a couple of years ago with X-Reload. I won't be dealing with either company again, particularly X-Reload who denied any issue.

I am starting to think that the government databases have been compromised or even worse they are targeting us as firearm owners.
I want to remind you that a group of hackers were the ones to release the list of the freedom convoy donators. These people were then harassed by global news employees as if this hacked list is proof of their involvement. The dontators could have been hacked like we were but global only had the intention of shaming them and scaring them to not support any movement like this again. Where do you think those orders came from ?
So in summary, "hackers" were able to break into "secure" platforms like GoFundMe and then leaked every single supporters' name to the whole world, at which point, Canada's main media station, arguably a front for this fake coup communist "government" we call the Trudeau administration then started harrasing these people.
Does this sound familiar ? Only question to ask yourself; are these a holes really capable of doing this ? You decide
Thieves are getting so sophisticated. I support and encourage the buttrising and monitoring of your firewall, I would also suggest you allow a 3rd party payment strategy such as P@yP@l or the like. With the way government legislation is going, our anonymity and security is becoming paramount.

You clearly have ZERO idea how a computer or network works. This is the fastest way of saying "I'm over 60" without actually saying it.
Their website was compromised which corresponds to the database in their end. Not on your computer. Oh god what a place where the uneducated can "educate " others
It might not be the vendor, credit card fraud is rampant everywhere, they are even now cashing in points like PC point or Canadian Tire points. Not in the best interest of any vendor for culpable on line fraud. Mostly a a business will use third party payment handler for online purchases. When you pay with c/c at home depot it registers the transaction even before your card hits the machine.
