    Well my main CC just got shut down by BoA for fraud alert and there were several charges from all over the world on it. Good thing they caught it fast and were on top of it and I'm not losing any money. However, I have been purchasing a lot of things lately but 1 company stands out. I recently purchased my car headunit from Cartronix.com and prior to them, my purchases were made through Paypal and other big companies. Since that purchase on the 9th, I hadn't spent any money online and only on gas and lunch. I think their site and database has been compromised and anyone thinking of purchasing from them should be careful.

    The company isn't a fraudulent company, because my headunit is waiting for me at UPS, but their online system and/or their network might not be very strong and your CC info could get stolen. I have emailed their customer service because they didn't pick up the phone and it went to voicemail.

    Bro sorry to hear that a good friend at work told me today that someone tried to charge 8K to his card. Luckily they denied and called to verify.
