Anyone ever had problems with Motorsportsreg.com
I really question and doubt their site security. Used them yesterday for the first time to register for a POC event. Within a few hours had two attempts to transfer money from the same CC I just used. Received Fraud alerts from Amex and called them so see that someone had attempted to spend 200+ on Ebay, and transfer 600+ to paypal.

Yeah not like I can prove it, but I don't use this particular CC online too often. Just seemed way too coincidental.

I've never had a problem with them. But thanks for the heads up.

I haven't had any issues that I know of with them. I have had my paypal debit card breached 3 times though, and each time was during the weekend of a motorsports reg event, but I don't think its related. I think its from buying gas at hick-*** country gas stations near the tracks.

One thing I can say though is Amex's fraud protection is second to none as far as I can tell, love their system. Let's face it, these racing organizations don't exactly have the world's greatest programmers working for them. Their website technology and security is the equivalent of a drive through McDonalds window that asks for your SS number. No harm no foul, but I emailed them today about it.

While we're on the subject, I've been pretty happy with Wells Fargo for CC fraud stuff too. Had issues with other banks in the past, but WF always notices the problem even before I do. When things like this happen (and it's happened like 3 times since I started using them) they call me, I set the record straight on which purchases weren't mine, and they fix my account and priority-ship me a new card with no hassle.

First, we partner with payment gateways who handle the processing and storage of attendee credit cards. We never see the number on our servers which is better for us and for you and part of how we're able to be PCI DSS compliant with a small team. Our partners process billions of dollars per year for the biggest brands on the Internet which is not to say they are invincible, but rather that it's not some shady virtual lemonade stand. Second, it's highly unlikely for you to use a credit card on a North American based website and moments or hours later have that card used fraudulently. That pattern is much more likely with card skimmers or other physical (vs. electronic) fraud which are becoming increasingly difficult to identify. Check out this article and think whether or not you would spot this at your BFE gas station? Stealthy, Razor Thin ATM Insert Skimmers — Krebs on Security The new Home Depot breach looks like it may go back to May or April but credit cards and personal data are just now showing up on the black market. Generally the crooks don't start selling cards until they either have them all or they get locked out. Once they start selling, the banks can identify the source of a breach and ratchet up fraud protection/shut off cards. The irony is that while mom and pop Internet retailers may be an easier hack target, they just aren't lucrative enough to interest criminals with the skills and resources. Those guys are looking for millions of credit cards in a single hack. Trusting "real companies" like Target, Home Depot, Dairy Queen, and PF Changs is actually more risky - that's where most credit cards historically are stolen. The bad news is you aren't likely to stop shopping there because it would be inconvenient. The good news is that other than the inconvenience, you won't be on the hook for any charges. Anyways, if you ever see something that doesn't look right on your online billing or CC statement, call us anytime at 415.462.5603 and we'll look into it. My credit card is stored and processed in the same system as yours, so I have the same interest as you all in keeping your data secure! PS - I've had my card compromised 3 or 4 times, almost always while traveling and from some kind of skimmer or bogus ATM. Be wary! |
