    No, this is affecting people with a purchase date as far back as 2/7/06 from what I've seen on another board. My purchase date was on 2/11/06, but I wasn't hit until 3/27/06. It doesn't matter what day you got hit, but what day your purchase was as that would give us a better idea how long people were affected.

    What's the latest you guys have been hit? I just got a call from my credit card issuer that someone other than me tried to rack up $2k today.



    Kudos to my cc company. They shut the card down while we were on the phone and are issueing me another card/number.



    BTW, I was at Barber on Mar 18 and 19 as well.

    SO THAT'S WHO GOT MY INFORMATION!!

    on 3/17 I just happened to be at my store late when the phone rang. It was a representative from Western Union calling to see if someone in my family was hearing impared and if they might have a reason to wire money to South Africa. I asked him what the last four digits of the card were and it was a card that I use for my store (and made my STT reservations on) that has a 15,000 limit!!!!. I told him that no, I had no one who was either deaf or had any reason to wire money over there and to please cancel the transaction. I immediately called and cancelled the card. Fortunately this was apparently the first transaction attempted so as far as I know I suffered no loss...

    I was just contacted by my credit card company this afternoon about bogus charges to Coach (luggage company?), Western Union, and some other online store. I last used this card 1/02/06 for my membership and the Barber weekend. It's a card with a huge limit that I rarely use. I know STT doesn't keep credit card numbers on file (said so in this thread), but how long should this internet shopping company keep this information? Could this have been a problem or leak that spanned a couple of months?

    I'm not really worried about it, my cc company has good security measures in place. But this is the second time in about a year that this has happened to me and I've got to wonder how much of my other personal info is being misused.



    By the way, how are you doing Goobr? I was on the blue SV pitted next to you guys at Barber.

    Yep, the withdraw dates are definitely going back to early February. I actually have two seperate debit cards through two different accounts. I just went through this a couple of weeks ago. I'm in Chicago now visiting a friend and I was checking my online account through my bank when I noticed that it was negative. It turns out that my main account that I use for bills, gas, ect was hit too. It was a pain I had to close out this card too. The problem is that I have to use this card to get home.Fortunately I called the bank and they said that she will temporarily open up my card for ATM's only. She said that I can overdraft the amount for the set amount that I told her and she will close the card back up ASAP. :? :? I did get hit for almost 300 dollars through coach.com again and there was also a 300 something dollar purchase at a walmart in ohio too. I only used this card once back in early Feb. to purchase my membership.
