Buyer be aware

[Lee24h]

Today i had the shock of my life when i got home
my bank account was empty.
after much hassle with my bank i have found out that either hackers
or wonga themselves have taken my money ( ive never even been on the wonga site)
Then the bank said some shopping sites are being phished at the moment
And with Mb models twitter account being hacked it would stand to reason that they may be targeting the rc car sector at the moment
I will list the sites i have purchased from using my card rather than paypal
( im not saying dont buy of these sites as i trust them and i always buy of them and will to continue to buy of there sites)
Here they are:

edited due to new link

Please dont post anything nasty im not being detremental about those sites
But use this as a word of warning

My Girlfriend had a call from the bank at the start of the week, Wonga had tried to take out £1 from her account. The bank had stopped this along with her cards.Once again she had never been on the site.

Have heard of quiet a few people having problems after using Amazon also...

Seems to be the same trend as you kinda had.

Hi Lee

Wonga got me too this week for £760. Halifax bank was very good and refunded straight away. I haven't used any of the sites you listed.

Think those site lists need editing mods not good to spread unfounded rumours.

Wonga was on watchdog the other week for doing the same thing.

tbh if it was me and i had a shop i wouldnt be happy..

there so many different way they can get your details... you might have a trojan virus..

Lee if i was you i would...

format all my pc's with a fresh install of os just to be sure (make sure the first thing you install is your antivirus)


if you have to use a card online use a credit card as you have added protection.

now that some one has used your details i would go to experian.com and buy your credit file.. by doing this you'll see the history of searches for credit see if there anything that looks odd.

i think you can set it up so that it'll alert you when there a change to your credit file... i'd monitor this for at least a few months...
