    Debt card number stolen again.

    My card number has been stolen twice since May. I use paypal when i can but some sites don't take paypal. I noticed that within two weeks of each card number getting stolen I ordered from USA Peptides online. I always check to make sure it has https in the browser url. I'm not saying they are selling card numbers but maybe they just don't know how to secure there server?
    Has anyone else had there debt card number stolen after ordering from here? I guess I should just use my discover card for on line purchases.

    The problem is now all these peptide companies need to use an over seas company to process the credit cards.

    And that 2nd party company is scamming the cards.

    Another reason not to have cards or bank accounts and just pay with things in cash. internet buying is the biggest scam.

    I've only used green dot but I believe there the same either way.

    Once I was feeling lazy and just canceled my debit card after an order lol. TD Bank will print you a new card on the spot.

    I've been using bitcoin with the circle app from the play store for my last few online orders. It's super convenient and there's no extra charges to reload a card.

    Yes! All those kids smoking spice then having violent trips is what triggered congress to pass blanket laws that also affected our research companies.

    have you linked your Bitcoin up to a string of wallets or to a prepaid credit card?

    I use the circle app with a green dot.

    Circle will allow you to buy coins and also saves them web wallet.

    Because of the convenience factor vs western union and the fact that most places give a discount for Bitcoin purchases it's my preferred method of payment.

    Plus circle allows sending and requestin Bitcoin from contacts on your phone. It's eerily similar to PayPal.

    Haven't used circle yet, but just started my account and got weekly amount raised.

    So if someone take btc....and I wanna use circle. Do I still need to buy coins. Or just send funds normally?

    Good call on having you weekly amount raised before using.

    There's no need to buy coins with circle. Just add funds normally. When you add money to the app from a card it gets added as Bitcoin.

    Like I said it's just like using PayPal.

    Here is the response I got from USA Peptides. I don't think it's there site. The only other site I used was ***. Could be a local tavern or restaurant etc...
    "Actually it's not us. We have to undergo a security scan to accept cards. We passed with flying colors. And we don't get credit card numbers. We only see the last four digits of the card so we can tell the customer what card they used. Otherwise we cannot get the card numbers, it's scrambled from your bank. If we didn't pass the scan from the security firm for visa/mc and others we can't accept the cards. They are very strict.
    So it's not coming from us. It is very hard to determine where the compromise comes from. Mine has been compromised three times this year already. Most card company's don't care enough to find out where it happens from which is frustrating. Once I'm pretty sure was a gas station.
    But rest assured it's not us. New credit card regulations that came down in April prevent most of this from legit online company's. The scan they do is very, very thorough and detailed. It acts like a hacker and if you don't pass you can't accept cards.
    Sorry it happened to you, I know personally how frustrating it is. Especially if you have payments tied to that card every month, then you have to update it with
    everyone when you get a new card.
    Again really sorry."

    If you have any questions feel free to PM.

    To those of you who use apps on your phone to manage finances or other personal data you should turn off your wifi when not on your home network or other trusted wifi network.

    I use AT&T and can't speak for all carriers. An AT&T phone will automatically connect to any wireless network named AT&T_wireless_network.

    This means that if I make a hotspot called AT&T_wireless_network your device will automatically connect.

    This is a security hole that needs to be fixed by carriers because someone can sniff your data that's sent over the network.
