My bank contacted me: Credit card info stolen from PoE site

To OP:

no real reason to apologize, really.

Bank gave you allegation and you provided info to us. Your warning was on place and is highly appreciated. GGG (Chris) reacted to it adequately and told us GGG have no deals with personal and credit information, and other guys responded their experiences what could happen. Natural order of things. If something happens that can affect others, is always good to share such information till is too late.

Now more of us get better knowledge about money transfers and how are protected. That count. Thx.

Gl and hf.

:)

ps: there was no accusation, like somebody thinks so..

m-(

and you couldn't just have contacted ggg first?

you realised that your fud just did more damage to ggg than any credit card chargeback could ever have done?

For future reference, there's an email address you can send this sort of thing to rather than post a thread in General Discussion or Reddit.

My bank left me.

toxic? lol. you're aware that trust is an essential part of ggg's business model?

answering fud like this with a post containing a clarification from the ceo and let the accusations of credit card fraud in the forums can only happen in this forum.

every other company would have deleted the account of op, filed a lawsuit if applicable and ip banned his ip network range.

i'm out of here before i get myself probated. goodnight all.

This isn't a matter of opinion - it's a matter of fact and just plain wrong.

That's an accusation of incompetence - allowing a third-party to gain access to their customer's credit card information would be a massive breach of security, privacy and trust.

The most important thing to take away from this thread:

You bastards woke up Chris in the middle of the night! How dare you! Grab the pitchforks, light some torches. I'm getting a mob together to fight this outrage.
