    Be Careful When Purchasing Online ...I've been hacked!



    I just want to put a reminder out there for people. Be very careful where you are purchasing from online. Don't just look for the best deal! Make sure you are dealing with safe internet sites and they have the online securities in place.


    I just found out that my credit card has been hacked into and the ONLY place I have used it online is one photography store one time and paypal one time. Somewhere, somehow someone got my number and the last three digits from the back of card and got away with one purchase but then when they got greedy and tried to make purchase after purchase of high $ amount, my card company denied it and shut down my card.


    I just want to put out there ...BE CAREFUL!

    jjphoto; She used her credit card 1x through paypal and 1x through an online photography store.


    There are a lot of scam photography sites out there.. Mostly seem to be out of Brooklyn. Googeling any online store before purchasing is a good method for giving some hints on whether or not they are legit.


    On a side note, can we not quote anymore?
