Looking at the OP with the limited information it appears to be an attempted mail-order scam. Personally, I don't do a great deal of online shopping outside of well-known retailers. When I do I try to do a little research on them beforehand like running their physical address through a search engine and doing a basic research on their website and look for any customer reviews. I've also got my bank to monitor transactions on my card in case they're used outside of predesignated areas and if I do use a new site I get them to white-list it if I'm going to use it in the future. Any out of state or international transactions are blacklisted until I clear them personally. Might sound paranoid but I've had attempted transactions for hotels and such placed and my bank's anti-fraud team have been really good at preventing any out of pocket hits on my account. The most inconvenient issue I've had is having to go into my branch and have a new card issued. I know enough people that have been cleaned out to look at this as necessary measures and it's only mildly inconvenient. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
