Be warned

I had 2 uber eats charges last month in 2 days. had to replace the card. did not buy anything from west coast hunting.

TD had money returned within 2 weeks.
 
The same thing happened to me after I gave my credit card info over the phone to Taylor Company unfortunately a few months ago. I don't know if it's a certain way it get processed and leaked? Either way I got my fraud charges reversed and new card issued anyways.

Although I've even had fraud on a backup travel card I never even activated lol...


Luckily other than the not activated card, all my other cards email me the second a purchase is done lol.

I recently placed two separate orders with West Coast Hunting. On the first order they said there was a problem with my credit card, asked me to verify the number. On the second order I used a different card, they once again called to verify the number.

In both instances, within days of ordering from them and not using the credit cards for any other BC-based stores I started getting fraudulent charges from UberEats in the Richmond area. Just an FYI, might want to avoid giving them information verbally as it seems like an employee might be taking notes...

Uber-Eats, you got off lucky.
Went to lunch with some family friends at a fancy dim-sum in that neck of the woods.
They paid by CC and left a healthy tip, before they got home the CC had charges in excess of $7500 in charges half way around the world.
There are scammers all over the place ....fortunately for CC insurances.

I have a story too, a little different.
We have one credit card that I use only for certain internet purchases. The one my wife has got compromised (different number but same account). There were a bunch of $25 UberEats charges on there.
She hadn't touched that card in years, it hadn't left her purse. We figure someone walked close to her with an RFID card reader.

Tap information contains a single number that provider links to your card. It can be copied, iirc, but only used to tap. UE needs full card information, does it not?
 
Both my Visa and Master-card ended up with fraudulent charges from Google Epic War LLC.

I didn't even know what that was, apparently it's some type of gaming program. The fraud charges on my cards were not linked to the OP's business.

Oh and I called the Police, they said to wear my seat belt!.......:)

With the pandemic on, criminals have been very busy!.....:(

Apparently lot's of fraud happening everywhere. Nothing is sacred or safe.

There were two attempts with fraudulent charges on two different credit cards of mine in the past 2.5 years. One was with a TD Visa and the other a Rogers Mastercard. Both times I was able to cancel my card before the criminals were able to proceed with more fraudulent charges. They typically put through a nominal amount through Uber Eats, parking etc just to ensure the card is valid before they start racking up some high value items. I have my credit card account set up to send notification via text/email instantly for any charges that goes through. You can check your credit card's website online to see if this is an option which is offered.

The notifications were annoying at first but I got used to it. I figured it is better than seeing a $25K balance on your billing statement when it come through the mail.
 
Everyone needs 2 cards. I have my 'Internet Visa', it does not leave the house, only used for on-line purchases, has a low $200 limit. For purchases over $200 I transfer funds to the card. My 'Wallet Visa' with a $10,000 limit can't be used for online purchases. Yes I've gotten fraudulent charges but the card limit stopped them from going crazy with it.
 
That is interesting... I had the same thing happen to me after I made an online purchase from West Coast Hunting back in fall when they had their sale. My card was thankfully flagged by the bank for a fraudulent transaction in Asia somewhere after the transaction here and cancelled... I ended up getting a new card and number and all is well again.

Didn't think much of it as it can happen anywhere but I did have my suspicions and this thread sure makes me think...
 
There has been a surge of these smallish “opportunity” crimes with the Pandemic. Even for people who have worked continuously through this whole deal, there’s uncertainty about income, and it’s easy for some to justify these sorts of crimes. After all, it’s not like YOU will get stuck with the bill, the credit card company will, so they see it as a no harm no foul deal. It’s really unfortunate. I’ve been burned twice this year as well, once right after Christmas, and a second time 5 weeks ago.

I was on hold for 3 hours yesterday with RBC trying to have a charge reversed. I had to hangup. The on hold music is enough to drive you to drink

I was 1hr 10min with TD. I did drink! The week before i had gone on a spending spree, joined the CPC party, donated to go fund me for JR, and joined the CCFR, and donated to them. The only charge that didn't go through was to the CCFR. Then the next Saturday someone order $700 worth of pot from 2 shops one in Ottawa, one in Brockville. Come to think of it. Trudeau is a crook wonder if he scammed the pot?
 
I've shopped at west coast in person, seemed like decent people. I did have a credit card compromised recently but it was in Ontario for stupid #### like pizza orders.

I have noticed west coast says permanently closed now when you google their hours. Not sure if they are open or someone is messing with them.
 
not sure if related but I ordered from there in Jan then a month later my card was "compromised" where I lost a few hundred, luckily fraud department caught on quickly and I was able to get my money back. I saw uber eats mentioned which is where my card was used 5 + times in 1 day too.
 
Seems like many folks, myself included, have had fraudulent credit card charges experiences. Mine was after my online ACR order got cancelled from theshootingcentre. And this transaction is the only online transaction in last couple months. Someone from their local tried to use my card immediately in Lowes with 2.5K goods. But the transaction got rejected as not enough credit. CC called me immediately to inform this transaction.

Just got my card info stolen too, I'm not sure from where, but I ordered the 499$ armor kit from S&J 3 days ago. Someone tried to buy 1070$ worth of stuff on Wayfair (boston) + montreal parking + uber eat + netflix account +++.. That's weird. I bought from other places too, so it might not be their fault.
 
My MC was compromised a couple of weeks ago. I'm in Ottawa, and there were a bunch of Skip the Dishes charges in Quebec that appeared in the space of 5 minutes or so. Luckily the bank caught it and cancelled the card quickly enough that the last charge was rejected. It's a pain in the ass to have to update card numbers with vendors we trust. I think I'll follow the lead of others in the thread and get a card that's exclusively for online purchases.
