Warning! Dont buy online at Buster's!

I placed an order at Buster's and after about a week, I discovered that my credit card details were stolen, and someone spent £400 gambling online, and another £300 on something else. Luckily Natwest were quick to spot the unusual transactions and they have promised me that the amount will be repaid into my account. I followed the earlier thread on this issue, and someone mentioned that the security breach had been dealt with, so I thought nothing would be amiss when I placed my order. I will never buy anything again online from Buster's. If you want, buy at your own peril, but dont say you haven't been warned! Also, dont believe it when someone says everything is now sorted; you may regret your mistake like I did!

Probably one of their employees. Play hell and/or call the Police.

A similar story was doing the rounds a few months ago, have a search for it.
IIRC the sites that the stories were on were threatened with legal action. Shocked

Maybe it's your PC has spyware or something - you can't be sure it was the store's fault at all - in fact I think that it's very unlikely to be Busters.

It was Busters, but a few months ago like someone said. Should have been sorted by now...

yes but just because you have the spy ware anti thingy it doesnt mean its gone one of my mates had a similar problem where one bit of spy ware couldn't be removed and he had to swap the hard drive over for a new one just do a search under youre files for spy ware.

never ever use a debit card online or by phone to pay.

How fucking stupid is it to use your card for a gambling site?

I mean, where the hell do you think any winnings will go?

Straight into your account

Neutral

PS I assume that the thief isn't some kind of superskilled poker player and has kindly won you thousands..............

PPS I also assume that this is the way these websites work, losses are taken from the credit card and winnings paid into the card account. Question

My Mum ordered stuff from Busters and then had £1500 taken from her acct. Luckily she got it back, At the time I mentioned Busters but it wasnt anything we could proof, the transactions were apparently made in the midlands somewhere and Busters are based in Swansea.... who knows.
