I really need to order some stuff, but am scared to do it...This is my question also. Is there any way we will ever find out which supplier got hacked? I need to order supplies again and have to do so via internet, I was just hoping by now someone would have found the issue and made us all aware of it. I definitely know it was one of five suppliers I deal with but that doesn't narrow it down enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinalee334455 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Bank just called me with recent activity on my mastercard totaling OVER $2000! I have used my card for so many candle companies lately as I have been testing for over a year now and getting very close to a sellable product.I have ordered from Fillamore,CS,NG,WSP,Peaks,Candlewic,Millcreek,Daystar,paypal,amazon,ebay and more Im sure....Looks like the card was used for tickets to Jamaica,some sort of job search,music jams and some sort of global buyers online.I cant believe this.I have been in business for 13 years(not candle business) I use my card everywhere.This is the FIRST time in 13 years someone stole my card #'s.What a shame!

I really need to order some stuff, but am scared to do it...I need to order also, been thinking about maybe a pre-paid CC,..I cancelled my old one recently just to be safe. So Paypal is still safe & secure right??? (only thing I haven't cancelled/changed) Edited March 16, 2011 by leisa2003 added Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

try2chme Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Scary....after hearing about all the hacks...my paypal account was hacked about a month or two ago. I don't think it was related to candle supply ordering..may have purchased from amazon though. So from now on...I will probably be using a prepaid visa card to make online purchases.

annie123 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Well I don't think the culprit will admit to anything...think what that would do to their business.As far as I am concerned I am sure it came from CS because I only used my credit card with them, SKS and JS a few times.I can tell you that it is not SKS because I used my replacement card there twice in the last month and it wasn't hacked.I will order from JS in the future because they take Paypal but I am not sure I will order from CS again.Has anyone ordered from Candle Science with a credit card recently?This is my question also. Is there any way we will ever find out which supplier got hacked?

Whew! This stuff scares me. I will just order from places that accepts PayPal then. No CC's anymore for me.It wouldn't be hard for all suppliers to accept PayPal payments, if they are worried about losing business.

deb426 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Has anyone ordered from Candle Science with a credit card recently?I have ordered from Candle Science several times recently, with the most recent in late February. The card that was used fraudulently for me was a card I had not used since January 2010. I used my other card at CS throughout 2010 and in early 2011 and it has been fine.

I don't think it was related to candle supply ordering..may have purchased from amazon though. So from now on...I will probably be using a prepaid visa card to make online purchases.After reading this thread on Saturday, I called my credit union and requested new card numbers on our debit/credit cards and Visa. Haven't been a victim of hacking as of yet, but I have used these to make purchases at many suppliers... most recently Peak and NG. I wanted to err on the safe side. Going to use a prepaid cc from now on. I am still unsure about what to do about Paypal. When I set up that account, I opened a separate account at my credit union and don't keep much money in there...just transfer money as needed. Thing is, you have to have a credit card as back-up on Paypal, and now, that account is closed. I'm not sure Paypal will allow me to have an account without a back-up credit card. Maybe this is a good way for me to control my FO addiction...:rolleyes2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babyv Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I recently ordered from CS and Peaks and so far my CC has not been used (knock on wood). Last time I ordered from both was almost a year ago.

Maggie Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I haven't had any problems either. Used my card in Jan. for samples at CW. I've ordered a few things from Amazon and some other online places...not candle or soap supplies. But....I am noticing in one of our local newspapers a LOT of police reports from people who have had their credit card #s stolen. Just today there were 2 incidents...and this is a really small town. I've been noticing this for the past few months. One of the reports said the F-ing thief charged over $8,000. I can't remember off hand what companies were listed.

*Dee* Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I use my credit card several times a month at CS and have for years and have never been hacked (knock on wood) I am thinking it has more to do with the companies all the suppliers go through to authorize the cards. I know CS said they use authorize.net not sure on the others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dreamie Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I placed an order on Monday morning with Candle Science, along with 3 other co's named here for fradulent activity. Currently no problems or fishy activity but will be keeping a very close eye on the account used. I forgot a few things and was just about to place another order but seems it may be best to hold off for a while . This is crazy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.S. Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 with Candle Science, along with 3 other co's named here for fradulent activity. Just to clarify for someone that might join in this thread late.... none of the companies named here are engaged in fraudulent activity. We are simply listing companies that we have placed orders from in an effort to determine if one of our suppliers was hacked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezin Posted March 16, 2011 Author Share Posted March 16, 2011 R.S. is exactly right. I will continue will all the suppliers that I listed because they are excellent people to deal with. Just looking for common links.....not to accuse, but to assist because I know that the suppliers I deal with are on the up and up, true blue, etc. (Fillmore, Peaks, NG, JS, etc)Thanks for pointing that out R.S. !

I will continue to use Paypal and add funds to that bank account as needed. As for suppliers that don't accept Paypal, I will use a prepaid credit card. I already feel better knowing that my numbers aren't out there in cyberspace anymore. I don't want to take any chances. Now, I'm just waiting on my new cards and will breathe a little sigh of relief when I have them in hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
