I had my bank (Chase) issue me a separate Visa Debit card that's linked to an account to which I can transfer funds at need from one of my other accounts. I maintain a $1.00 balance just to keep it open. I use that card for any online purchases where I can't use PayPal.

 

I can quickly transfer the exact amount needed to that account either from my computer or my cellphone. :ph34r:

Had a phone call from Lloyds bank in the UK this afternoon, same as everyone else on the thread really. My card has been compromised but luckily enough their security picked up on it.Spoke to a really nice lady who went through all the tranactions that had failed recently. interestingly reading through here a couple of my transaction were to itunes as well although they originated in the states, and I don't even have an Iphone , so I'm wondering if Apple is the culprit here, saying that I have recently purchased Steve's DX10 fixer so could it be that store. it would be interesting to see if there is a common denominator here. Not pointing the finger at anywhere in particular you understand but I'm thinking it could be one of these two places as I rarely use said card except for online.

what you need to do is work out where you have used your card over the last few months as anyone of them could be responsable, ive only used flightsimstore, justflight and aerosoft to buy addons in the last 4 to 5 months, ive had nothing happen but if it was one of them i should expect something soon unless ive got lucky with my new card being updated.

 

keeps fingers crossed its none of the stores ive listed.

 flightsimstore, justflight and aerosoft

Those three and pcaviator. Those are the only four I have ever used for online shopping...

flightsimstore, flightbeam, fsdreamteam, aerosoft, fly tampa. i see a flightsimstore is mentioned a lot, my last transaction was in the flightsimstore buying dx10 fixer, before my card got hacked.

yep same here. my last purchase was DX10 fixer from flightsimstore. 4 days later card was hacked. But hey i guess i'll never know..

Mee to, my last purchase was Dx10 fixer the exact same day it was released.

 

On October 15th I purchased an app from apple store and in the 15th's night my card was hijacked.

 

Really I don't think was Apple Store. I suppose FSS was accidentally hijacked and someone has stolen our cc details. FSS (without any fault) seems to be the common denominator.

 

I don't remember but FSS ask every time cc details during checkout or details are saved on its own site (like Amazon)?
