Humblebundle.com credit card theft?!

Change banks.

HTTPS. They receive encrypted info. And it's one-way. They can NOT steal it.

why the hell do you buy bundles for 1$ ? you cheap bastards! :P

My borther had somebody buy 2 plain tickets in brazil, and 4 tvs in connecticut within an hour of eachother, but the one that triggered a credit alert was my brother buying a "5 guys burger" in Maine 5 minutes after somebody bought the tickets. all other activity had been near where we live. Although they did have a list of the other 2 that they read immediately after we replied the burger was expected, and so I think they led with the burger to try and lighten the mood. American Express if funny.

It seems that for our security one automatically connects to HiB as of today trough the website https://www.humblebundle.com/weekly
Don't know why, it is more secure but ...

Yea I had something happen like that, some guy some how got a hold of the information from my checks and tried buying car insurance 2 times for 1000usd. Funny thing is at the time i didn't have shit in the bank so the transactions failed both times and i changed my account lol. This was last month btw, i only had like 5$ in the bank at the time since i rarely even put money in it unless i want to buy somthing XD. Most of it in my pocket.

"the problem came from some 1$ transactions made towards www.humblebundle.com"

How the fuck would the bank know who used the credit card number? (Hint: They can't know, the only info the have is based on location and where the payment actually went to.) Just because it was near or around the Humble Bundle purchases in your transaction list, doesn't mean a damn thing.

I've found that Chrome can have spyware extensions in it that the Anti-spyware programs don't see. Check your browser for extensions and plugins you didn't personally install.

First thing to do: Post it on Steamgifts. Good job!

You should really change the topic title. There's no way HumbleBundle had anything with your situation (since they don't even get to know your CC data, it's handled by Amazon/PP/Google and not them), and this title is leaking to the Google, Bing and various web cache achieves... and will show in search results for years.

Not very nice of you to do that to a great service.

That sucks but I don't have a way to do online buying so I don't have to worry about this stuff for a while :D

Many banks will let you make a virtual credit card, that way you pass just the money you want to spend and if anyone tries to use it, they can only use the money in the virtual card.

Humble also stole my money! Even tho it wasn't much, but still... (Btw Danish)

Thats actually a pretty good idea, very happy to hear that the bank called you up right away before allowing the transaction, its not uncommon that banks would just not even notice things like that. I would look into things your gf has used her card for and definitely get it changed. A $1 speculation is NOT uncommon, usually a credit card thief will make a few $1 charges to make sure the credit card is safe and that it works. Its also a small amount so that it usually is never picked up by the banks as they normally ignore small charges like those. Banks obviously know this now and thats why they're assuming it may have come from www.humblebundle.com.

It could also be, your $1 purchase probably made them think something dodgy may be happening to your account and when they saw the two large payments they contacted you straight away. If thats true, then you being sort of a tight ass :P may have actually helped you stop the thief lol.

That's why i use cash.

Dude i sincerly don't think that HB would do this,they are plenty of money and they don't need to steal your,because if they would have done that...it would be bad for tham.
Probably someone hacked your PC,check your pc with a good antivirus who searches for key loggers (malware bytes).

who bumped this?!?

brutal bumpage.

Sounds to me like your bank is full of it.

2 transaction from any vendor online or other wise that add up the the same amount (2 transactions that are for $1 from the same store in a short amount of time) will raise flags.

massive bumpage, yeah, but for anyone who this may happen to in the future, maybe you have some kind of virus that keeps record of transactions in your. it's the only possibility, because humbleBundle is HTTPS and will not sell your cred card info anyways.

damn, necro the dead thread.... +1
