Just an fyi: this is a first for me and I have made more online vaping purchases over the last four years than I care to remember, most of them with credit cards and some through paypal.
About 2 months ago I decided to use only one credit card that I had not used in about 3 years for only vaping supply purchases so I could more easily check and track my purchases. Most other online credit card purchases I make are on just a few large sites like Amazon.com. So in the last two months I have only made 7 purchases with the card. I made a purchase last night and the previous purchase before that from a different supplier was on 3/19/13. The purchase last night was the first I had ever made with this well known supplier who specializes in DIY supplies. Well, I got a call about 3 hours ago from newegg.com asking if I had made a $569 purchase. Ofcourse I said no. They stated that the purchase was pending and would be declined. I then went online with my credit card company and saw that no other fraudulent purchases were made, thank goodness. I then called the credit card company and had the card cancelled. I must applaud newegg for their vigilance in calling a possible customer about a large order.
Since my previous purchase with this card was 12 days before and the fraudulent purchase came in less than 15 hours after my purchase yesterday, it seems likely that my information was somehow stolen from this site. I just sent them a contact message on this problem asking them to check their security and contact me.
I'm not trying to put a question mark beside the company I purchased from as I'm sure most sites can be vulnerable to having information stolen. Their site does have a big icon exclaiming their securtiy software. I will be interested as to how they respond to my message. If they don't respond quickly and effectively, I will be letting everyone know.
Anyway, this post is just to let you all know to check your statements carefully and frequently and I would not use a debit card for any online purchase.
