I had two from Korea too, don't know if from south or north, doesn't really matter, but it was not in conjunction with a purchase from Bandit Lure Co. BTW, Bandits are made in China, like most every thing else these days.

I have ordered from Bandit Lures a few times this year and I had the same thing happen to me in June. Cleaned my checking account overnight. All came through as International transactions. It was a mess but the bank did get it all fixed a day before I left for vacation.

Sure would like to hear something from Bandit Lure Co concerning this. I think they might do themselves a favor for being proactive if it's not too late.

Well my statement from Bank Plus just came today and there was a $300 charge for Direct TV. I use Dish Network. There was an order made from Bandit Lures 2 days before.

Hey guys the HTTPS part of a website only means that the site talks to your computer over an encrypted channel so some random person on the internet can't intercept it. It doesn't mean really anything about the security of their systems. You should never give any personal info to a site if it isn't started with HTTPS, but don't let that be the only thing you look for.

Most companies don't process their own credit card payemts. They send them to a processor's gateway to do that. It's really expensive to keep up to code if you process cards, so most companies out source that. Sounds like whomever Bandit uses is getting their records harvested quite regularly. Hopefully they will get that fixed its not good to get your customers money stolen from them....

an inside job to me that someone hacking into their computer. Kinda like when someone made up fake checks on my checking account with someone else's name on it but had all routing number and account info. It was screaming an inside job cause I only write 1 check a month and that's to the gym where I teach my classes

I am so greatful for this thread. I need some more bandits and was considering ordering from them. I would have caught a lot of Doo Doo from the Mrs. if this would have happened to me.

I placed an Internet order from Bandit back in June, and you guessed it, same as you other guys..... within a week they had run up close to a 1000.00 on about four charges, heck, they rented movies from Netflix one night. I had no idea this stuff happens so much.
