    On my second replacement credit card in like 2-3 months after going on a handgun buying spree pre ban.

    Looks like I know why it keeps getting stolen now.

    If this is only now being brought to their attention, I anticipate an incident investigation and a report.
    A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

    Personally, given how my credit card issuers have dealt with fraud when my cards have been compromised, I’d still take the risk of that happening and have the protections and benefits of a credit card (ie chargeback) than pay by EMT and have no recourse if the retailer screws around like some have been known to do.

    Depending on your card, the company and your history with the company, you have no guarantee at protection against fraud. Ask me how I know… they always find a way to wiggle out of responsibility.
    Buyer pays shipping and insurance on any EE sale unless explicitly stated otherwise in the ad or agreed upon as part of the deal.

    All posts made by me are my opinion, and you must do your own research

    Sounds a little fishy!

    Maybe trudy socks has his minions working on this?

    What a great way for Liberals to poison the firearms industry yet even further.

    Purchased from FOC in March. Shortly after I was charged 7K for foreign tuition.

    I'm not out any money but it was a pain.

    I recently bought a scope from FOC (A couple of weeks ago).

    I recently got a notification saying that "ecreditcanada" or something of the sort had charged .28 cents to my card.

    Quick google search discovered that small charges like that are used by scammers to verify that the card is "good".

    I called my CC company and by the time I got through to them, several other charges had been attempted (but were denied by the CC company). Moncton UPS, an e-commerce site, travel vouchers....all within approx 20 minutes.

    That card hadnt been used for over a year. My guess - FOC has some security issues.

    I bought a rifle over a year ago from FOC. Month after I got an alert from credit card company regarding a home depot charge which is out of my province. As unusual transaction, CC company blocked the authorization and replaced my card with a new number.
