Please watch Pay Pal too. They "lost" my account and never did find it. Tell me about their security one more time? No more business through Pay Pal for me.

I only use gift or prepaid visa or mastercards. My sons Identiy was stolen over a month ago what a mess he had to deal with and still is!!!!

You can request new cards from your bank or credit card companies that cannot be read electronically from a distance. They will have to be put manually through a scanner to be read. However, they will also not be able to be used by you at some of the new quick scan places like turnpikes and drive thru places. They will however be secure in your wallets, purses, etc. from being scanned when you aren't aware of it.

I'm glad you posted this. I just placed an order with them last week monday (2/11) and come Wednesday, someone hacked out credit card. I couldn't for the life of me figure out where the hacking came from....NOW I KNOW. This is sad, I lover there sutff.

This just spurs me on to get a card with a low limit balance to use for online purchases. I do use one of those metal credit card carriers, but am thinking about returning to cash use in restaurants. I hate it when they walk off with my card. You never know what they are doing with it. I have changed all my passwords to 13 digits. Let the low life hackers figure those out.

Well...this is a mystery solved. I had only used my card in two places...an order to Connecting Threads and one to FabricDepot. I got a call a few days later from my bank telling me to call their fraud agency because the bank had been contacted by them that someone was possibly using my card fraudently. I called and 'sure 'nuff' .

I am in SE Oklahoma and my card had been used by someone in San Clamente, Calif to purchase something that cost 4 dollars and some cents. The agency said that apparently the person had done this to see if it was a good card. They immediatly picked up on it that it was a possible fraud, telling me that they had already cancelled the purchase, but I would have to tell my bank to cancel that one and give me a new card.

I never knew which online store was the culprit and it is good to know which one. When I contacted Fabric Depot about it I told them I was in doubt as to who it was..but later they told me that they had put an investigator on the issue in their store just to make sure it wasn't them. Isn't that great? I have a lot of respect for them because of that.

Yea Fabric Depot. <smile>

I must be a dodo bird because how does one know if calls received about a hacked credit card are really from the bank?

Anyway...I am so glad I caught this thread as I was going to place my very first order to 'Connecting Threads' today on line.
I've had my credit card hacked twice in the past and what a mess!

I talked with connecting threads this morning. All those compromised were sent a snail mail letter. I thankfully was not on the list but did have my credit card scammed while down here in Texas. But it was not them and I trust that info. I will continue to do business with them.
