Beware of Dans Comp website!!
« on: July 04, 2010, 04:28:33 PM »
I know I have been a supporter of Dans as im always up for saving a buck. Well twice in the last month my credit cards have been stolen. I used both at Dans.....seemed kinda strange till I read this.

There is also about a dozen people on the bmxmuseum that this has happened too also but you need to be logged in to read that thread. Just a heads up.

Wow. Things make sense now. I ordered from them awhile ago for a friend, and later had my card details accessed and a small sum of money was debited. My bank informed me the small sum was a verification method by hackers who withdraw large amounts later. As I used a few websites and stores, I did not know where the leak occurred. Now I know. Since then I only use Paypal. While Paypal is not foolproof, at least you don't leave your card details all over the globe every time you buy something.

Thanx for posting...

Dans has always been unreliable/shady for me; this being true all the way back in like 2001.

Funny you mention this. A week and a half ago I got a call from my banks fraud hotline saying that "my" payments of $900 & 200 were declined. My last 2 transactions have been from Dans... coincidence?

The odds of all these people working over an unsecure wireless network is highly unlikely. It is more likely that the website simply isn't secure.

I just placed a phone order.

I will keep an eye on my card, if anything strange happens I will let you guys know. It is a chip card for what its worth.

I have had cards get stolen, I have had even more get comprimized through retailers servers getting hacked. At least 5 times now I have gotten a call saying cut up the current card, your new one is in the mail.
