got scammed by Ceretropic card processor

Original post in this thread

Card processor took about 4 tries before the it finally went through wasting about a half hour of my time. And then my order never showed up in their system yet money was taken out of my account. That's what you get for using a sketchy off shore processor.. And that cover up about how their competitors were calling the card processors is obviously a blatant lie.

Terrible website... Good products

Carding has become a multi-billion industry. I believe what /u/misteryouaresodumb is trying to say, is that everywhere else you've used that card, or it has been out of your possession is just as likely to be the culprit as any other.

There are also lots of very sophisticated banking trojans out there in the wild. If you strongly believe that the fraud on your account was directly tied to you inputting your card number into that sketchy bank, then it's just as likely that you have malware on your computer.

Take a look at some of these resources and you'll see that CC fraud has grown to an insane rate:

One thing here stands out:
"Instead, online fraudsters turn to “CVV shops,” shadowy cybercrime stores that sell packages of cardholder data, including customer name, full card number, expiration, CVV2 and ZIP code. These CVV bundles are far cheaper than dumps — typically between $2-$5 apiece — in part because the are useful mainly just for online transactions, but probably also becau…

Change the slang word you used for the bank. It's a good comment, but I cannot approve it with the derogatory slang term for the bank.
