Hacked Credit Card through Frontgate?

[Niklass]

Hey, so 2 of my friends have had their card numbers hacked. They both claim it's through frontgate because they saw some seriously suspicious activity after they got their passes.

I wanted to know if that happened to anyone else?

[locachica73]

I have had two instances of my cc getting hacked in the last 2 months, I didn't know where it was coming from, I assumed the bar or something else, but I guess this makes sense too. Nothing is safe it seems.

[Niklass]

I had my doubts it was frontgate but my friend used a credit card he hasn't used for anything else in a while.

[heart cooks brain]

were the networks they used secured?

[faxman75]

Interesting. My debit card (B of A Visa) which I used to purchase my tickets was caneled on me because of someone online merchant compromising my information. They refused to tell me which merchant. I asked them how I was supposed to protect my information and card if I didn't know which merchat and they said they didn't have that information. It happened about 3 weeks ago and was the first time in over 4 years something like that has happened. I wonder if it was Frontgate.

I had to replace my card twice and notify frontgate because my layaway charges. I was told it was someone in Russia charging 2 $ fees to test the account and prepare to wipe out everything if unnoticed.

BofA visa

Edit: I buy a lot of stuff online.

This is basically the same thing that happened to me but it was in Texas, and I am with a credit union. Luckily my bank cancelled my card on me and I was able to get the money back the first time, the second time they got a little more and I am still waiting to get the money back.

[Niklass]

I'm not sure.

[Goatchella]

I keep a savings and a checking with BofA and I transfer money into checking as needed. That way I always have the mother load secure

Sure sounds like a pattern here....

FRONTGATE & GOLDENVOICE- PLEASE RESPOND

Have you had ANY employees fired or on watch for Credit Card issues?

This IS the risk of running on the payment plan Frontgate KEEPS your CC numbers and the employees run the CC.

I'd advise anyone who is on the payment plan to run through their records. One common scam is they'll run just $.27 cents or $.35 cents so you don't notice right away....and they'll run it month after month till you catch it.

FRONTGATE & GOLDENVOICE NEEDS TO RESPOND AS THESE ARE SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS THAT IMPACT EVERYONE WHO PURCHASED TICKETS AND NOW IS WONDERING IF THEY HAVE EMPLOYEES STEALING FROM US - IF THEY HAVEN'T STOLE FROM US YET....WE ARE NOW HAVING TO WATCH DUE TO MULTIPLE CONNECTIONS TO FRONTGATE!
IF THERE ARE A LOT OF CONNECTIONS YOU CAN JOIN TOGETHER FOR A CLASS ACTION SUIT - THEY'LL RESPOND NOW

I have also had a couple of instances since I purchased in June, but they were around the 4th of July.

[Niklass]

My friends purchased their tix at the general sale on Jan 12th (?). One of them got a $600 walmart charge shortly after.

Why is the site repeating the words?

I think we're in a vortex.

I find it suspicious that your 2 friends got their passes already...

[locachica73]

I purchased from my work computer so yes, it's a secure network.

[Niklass]

They didn't. I meant after they purchased them. Or rather after they got confirmation.

[Goatchella]

I do everything via cell phone and have no idea about the security

Did some minor checking around on frontgatetickets.com:

Scam.com has no reports
Ripoff Report does have a complaint against Front Gate, but it was for excessive shipping charges
No rating on MyWot.com
siteadvisor.com gives it a green checkmark (no significant problems reported)
delete-computer-history.com does have any records of any complaints against frontgatetickets.com

If enough people make reports to these sites about this issue, an investigation might happen.

I guess it's safe to assume that Jen won the board award for most likely to kick someone's ass in a fight... Am I right?

"CC getting hacked"
"Card getting hacked"
"Seriously suspicious activity"
"instances"

That's some really specific information folks.

Everybody pretend this is like the Set Times/ Stage Prediction thread, where you're certain of what is happening, and where.

I'd start pushing their buttons to get info, they can't say some online merchant is compromising info and not give any details, that doesn't make sense does it? Or maybe im just crazy.... or both....

LARGE FONT SIZE AND MULTICOLORED WORDING MEANS BAILY IS SERIOUS GOLDENVOICE. YOU MUST ANSWER THIS BOARD MEMBER NOW OR ELSE!

stfu, baily.

[Dustin da DnB Soulja]

If anyone could find proof there could be a massive class action suit, but someone would need verifiable proof.

[with_cheese]

Set your account so that you'll be alerted anytime a purchase is made online with your card if you are nervous about this.

[Goatchella]

AEG owns frontgate and the con artists. It's a scam. More ticket sales lol

[greghead]

Huh. Maybe this is why Wells Fargo unilaterally canceled my debit card three months ago (card I used at FrontGate) due to "suspicious online activity." Interesting.

[algunz]

That's exactly what happened to me, Greg.

RED ALERT. RED ALERT. BAILY SAYS. RED ALERT.
