Someone just tried to spend £1000 from my bank at OcUK.

Wait... you're not the OP... hmmm.

Nope.

Item was ordered but not paid for. Was told I'm not the only one so would assume the "other one" being the OP.

While Im not one to spark forum-wide panic, but 2 people having fraudulent orders on their accounts?!?! It can only mean one thing - zombie apocalypse!

Zomb-pocalypse aside

Makes you wonder though if they have been compromised

Would be nice if OCUK could confirm the rest of us are safe ☺
Andi.

Interesting... where's @5UB not swimming around in new graphics cards.

That would be quite logical. Buy a voucher and spend it anonymously(ish)

Except extremely trackable...

What they'll have been trying to do is resell the voucher in the third party market. No direct link from the voucher to the scammer, and they'll have taken the money and run leaving the dupe with a dodgy voucher and OCUK to pick up the pieces. Same principle that a lot of CDKeys on dodgy reseller sites such as G2A work on.

Delete all card info in your account. Use PayPal and set all logins (inc this forum and PP to 2FA)

I don't and won't use PayPal as I had a sum of money stolen from there via a loophole that PayPal haven't publicly discussed allowing people to spend your money without login details.

I suspect humbug is after more cores and I'm paying for it

No word from any member of OcUK staff to reassure customers that there hasn't been some sort of breach? Would be nice to know before I start buying parts for my new system.

There is the option to not save card details on ocuk isn't there? Or just order via phone and ask them not to save them.

I have received an email from OCUK thanking me for ordering an 1080TI GTX for £799.99

I've checked my OCUK account and there is an order although it hasn't processed yet.

The delivery address has also been changed to an odd looking address in Daventry with DHL references.

well if you've got an address, why not pass it on to the cops to have a talk w/ whoever accepts the delivery?

Rifte · 19 Sep 2017 at 08:04

Checked my account and I cant see that I have saved any details anywhere. Or am I missing something?

Just because you did not save the details does not mean they are not on file somewhere else..if they are slack on security the details could be in emails, in text files, multiple locations and on several different computers

Ahh.....I better keep on eye om my CC statements then.

Well, i have FINALLY gotten through to the fraud department. ( only took 9 attempts ) They have told me that they believe the card was skimmed somewhere and used from a different IP and that's why they raised the alert.

Card cancelled and new one on the way.

Darn it. Going to be a painful week without access to my current account for my shopping ( daily ritual )
