Credit card details stolen using Gamereproductions.com
Just wanted to warn everyone that i ordered a repro through gamereproductions.com in March and 2 days later i was notified of suspect activity on my card from my bank.
I was lucky that my card was issued in a different country and wasnt able to used without a conformation password sent via a text message to my phone.
It was also the first time i had ever used that card for an online purchase. I'm not sure if it was the owner of the website or someone has hacked in somehow.
After persistently having to email him it took close to 6 months to recieve the repro also.
It also appears that it is not an isolated incident https://assemblergames.com/threads/lets-guess-which-one-of-these-websites-which-i-purchased-game-related-things-stole-my-cc.66289/

Thanks for letting people know about this, good luck getting all that squared away.
PayPal all the way from now, unfortunately PayPal wasn't an option to pay with at the game reproductions site.
If this happened and you sincerely wanted to warn others for fraud, why did it take you 5 months?
The site owners probably cheap out when it comes to site security. Reading a post from that Assembler link states that they had outdated software with a known back door exploit.

As I said "I gave the site the benefit of the doubt until i came across someone else that it happened to". As soon as i found that out I posted it here.

If the site owner cheaps out and uses software that has huge known security issues such as this, that is still on them. You can't expect people to continue to do business with you if their credit card info is always getting stolen. OP was upfront and said he wasn't sure if they were hacked or if it was malicious by the owner. He also said it took almost 6 months to receive the game and posted a link to another thread confirming a similiar experience. I don't see any issue with him posting now.
Keep using WordPress for your pop-up sites and this happens.
There was a huge exploit in one of the last versions of WordPress that allowed the theft of credit card info.

I'll have to keep that in mind. We might have to go through Paypal if WordPress' POS systems have a huge exploit.

Best Necrobump ever.
I wouldn't count this as karma cause he posted this before he posted the VGA comment
I was going to say that to but it's still applicable because he received the bad karma for supporting the repros not for saying the thing he did in the other thread.
