JUST TO WARN EVERYONE

my bank called this morning about a transaction of ? 2000 that was attempted last night on my debit card. In China!!!!

The transaction was rejected but it appears since end Jan I have had a dozen of transactions that did get through, I honestly didn't notice because it was always very small amounts, from ? 0,50 (pence!) to like ?9. All the transactions were coming from China:(

I was only using this card for food, TFL and Backpage. Simply nowhere else and I'm sure of it. And the Chinese transactions were always within 24 hours after I paid for Backpage.

That is VERY VERY scary. Could you e-mail Pam from Backpage and let her know?

Did you pay from cracker or directly from backpage?

I hope you get a response. I emailed andrew about it twice and got no response. perhaps I will call him, he might just put the phone down for all I know. Chances are they probably know but don't want to address it. Dutty stinking rasclats. Did you guys save your card details on backpage?

Hi all,

So I got an automated call from my bank on Friday stating that someone was trying to make a big transaction from my debit card in China. This is a bank account that I only use to make my backpage classified ads payments. These Chinese thugs have been taking small amounts from my bank account and i didn't notice, untill they tried to take a lot of money. So I had my debit card blocked. I have to go to my bank on Monday and sort off how much money they have taken and get a new debit card. They tried to pull out 2000 pounds from my account right after after I made a backpage transaction (thank god I managed to block it).

 So there's something very wrong going on with bakpage payments, like their security sistem is not good at all. I wonder if it happened through the cracker.com or backpage. But I'm very very annoyed at this point and thinking in going back to paying for backpage ads with bitcoin in order to avoid these hacking attempts.

I'm going to contact Pam and let her know.

Girls: be very careful with your backpage payments.

It was exactly the same with me!!!! All those amounts were 8,72 or 5,67 or even 0,20 for like 3 months and then the bank got alerted when the bloody Chinese tried to get ?2000!!!!!!

Once again everyone careful with Backpage

Yep. And I had to convince my bank that I hadn't made any trip to China. It was quite embarasing.

So Hopefully it was my debit card that got hacked (same one I was using to  pay for my backpage ads -such a coincidence) and not my bank account. So the bank cancelled my debit card and gave me a new one.

I will be paying with bitcoin for my ads from now on because I'm 90% certain that their system is compromised. I as I had not used  that debit card to pay anything else.
