Hi Kolbers,
Question: has anyone recently bought parts from one of the leading
aircraft parts sellers, paid by credit card and then in a few days find
out someone used your CC number and made a large purchase?
I had an odd experience just before someone tried to use my credit card,
first for a $.97 purchase and when that was successful, to make a
purchase of over $600 online with my card. I bought about $125 worth of
parts from a noted seller by phone and paid with a credit card. I
ordered the parts from a man. Later that day a woman called and said my
CC was declined and to give her the number again because they couldn't
ship the parts unless it was paid. So I did, plus the expiration date
and security code on the back. She then said oh, that's the number she
had and it worked this time. That was strange to me - never ever had a
call like that from a seller - and I buy a lot of things by phone and
online. Then a few days later my CC was stolen.
I'm not saying this person took my number, but if anyone else has had
this happen, the pattern is definitely worth reporting.

if you are going to purchase parts for your kolb or anything online... best
to get a card with a $500.00 limit.... that way if the number gets
compromised... you have a limit that wont bankrupt you.

Every *credit* card I've ever had, had a max of a $50 stop loss for
fraudulent use. The companies I have used for many years even waive the
$50. I've even gotten calls from their security people asking if I made
a particular purchase at a particular location (and they never ask for
any numbers/passwords, etc). In-person purchases in widely different
locales have triggered a call, and purchases outside my normal buying
habits have triggered a call, too.
I'm a lot more paranoid with a *debit* card.
FWIW,
Charlie
