    Default Update On Bandit


    I talked with the Lauderdale County Sherriff's Dept. today and got an update on the credit card fraud case. Bandit Lures used an outside firm to handle credit card orders and apparently their system was hacked into. They no longer use the firm and are looking into other and safer ways of doing charges. The person who used my card numbers has a hispanic name and lives in Florida and has nothing to do with Bandit Lures. To me though, I wouldn't think a person smart enough to hack into a system would be stupid enough to pay their Direct TV bill with the stolen numbers. The investigation continues and I'll keep y'all updated.

    I agree, the original hacker(s) probably have never used any of the credit #'s -surely they sell the #'s to others to use.

    Thanks for the update Scott, least now they know about the problem and can get it fixed. Would sure be good if they would add PayPal. Looks like they could use another company if they want to and add Paypal for those who want to use it.
    Let us know when ya get more news.
