Default E-mail I just sent ECS:

To whom it may concern:

You may want to address this situation publicly: (URL of this post)

Sincerely,
A Concern Customer


Now I guess we wait and see if they give us a reponse. I know I personally will not be using them for any orders until I hear something officially from them about this.

Default yep it's a legitmate claim...

i had mine stolen as well. It's not that ecs overcharges or anything.. the problem is the numbers get stolen and people try to use the card elsewhere on the net. My CC company phoned me up and said "have you been trying to make a purchase online for x amount of dollars from x website"... umm "no"... "okay someone is repeatedly trying to use your card number and keeps getting the expiry wrong... the card will be cancelled and a new one will be mailed to you"... just keep a close watch on your bills.

Lavalife... meetsingles.com.. and a few other dating sites where the cards are usually tried. Mine was tried on amazon IIRC... and it's not an isolated 2-3 people.. alot of members on the b5 a4 board have had that issue... speaking of which.. how the fvck did i get in here.. *runs*

Default I ordered from them sometime ago and have had none of this activity

Others have looked at TireRack (I have never bought from them)

Yup "Shop Safe" is very useful. You can even use it for phone order.
