    This is serious guys

    Got home today and had a voice mail from Western Union. Someone trying to make wire tranfers to Nigeria. The guy from Western Union said the crook called it in and had all my info, name, address, security code, ect....

    Called my credit card co. and they showed 4 additional "pending" charges. Luckily they were all still pending so they will not hit me with it.





    "BEWARE" GUYS AND GALS!

    I'm glad that they are using a new system now. As you guys know I got hit twice too. (Both cards were used before the update though.) That comment about someone calling to wire money to Nigeria sounded pretty freaky. I think this person needs one genuine A@# whooping. :evil: :evil:

    I guess #22 applies in this case :twisted:





    FYI - I don't think this recent wave of fraud has anything to do with STT.

    My card recently got hit with BS coach.com charges and it was NOT the card i used back in January to purchase my STT membership.

    I don't know about that. There sure are alot of people that just coincidentally got hit here. I got hit with both cards. I still purchase from STT though. I trust the fact that they took this matter seriously and upgraded.

    I signed up for 4 track dates on Jan 31 & Feb 1.... so far no fraudulent charges have hit my Amex card but I'm calling to get a new number right now.



    Thanks for the heads-up everyone.

    cancelled card and ordered a new one.



    My only purchase on STT was back in Feb/March timeframe.

    Add three more hits. My CC co. called about a suspicious charge and it was to coach.com. My buddy got hit with a charge to coach.com. Both were denied because they gave the wrong expiration date. He also got hit with a western union to Nigeria. I am of the opinion that this is not a coincidence and that STT needs to get a more secure system.

    I wonder if Coach.com has been made aware of all of these fraudulent charges and if they have found anything from their end.

    Well I finally got hit today with the card I used to purchase the Tally trackday . Bank has froze the accout . This sucks too as it's my business card that I've used for years . Hope the last two trackdays I booked with another card is secure .....My wife's already pissed as she has to keep track of this crap :(

    Actually I did get hit as follows

    mobilebe.com ( Japanese web shopping cart service ) 3065

    Coach.com 3x156,124,3x231,198= 1483

    avon.com 124

    Western Union 257

    Grand total = 4929



    Man coach.com is losing a bunch on this , if they provided the services (leather goods) then they are out a s-load of stuff :roll:

    Had a great weekend at Kevin Schwantz Suzuki School but while I was away I was hit with two fraudulant charges on my card for luggage and phones. Together over $1000. :evil:

    The bankcard company handled this great and I don't blame STT for any of it . Snit happens . I'd like to string up the ones responsible though ....

    I have to agree. My credit card company handled it well too. And thanks to Monte for stepping up and dealing with it the way he did.

    I thought I was in the clear until yesterday. I was sent an email from American Express asking about a charge from Coach store for 2700. They told me I would not be charged and they sent me a replacement card. I went online today and saw 2 more charges from Caden Concepts for 3300 each. I had to file another dispute on my card.



    So in total, I was hit for $9400.00. Can anyone beat that?
