98Z5V Posted February 25, 2013 Report Share Posted February 25, 2013 WMD Guns had a NiB BCG sale starting 10 Feb, and sold out fast. ALOT of their customers got hit with CC Fraud. Some people that shop with them report getting hit with CC Fraud after past transactions, but now everyone is putting it together. IF YOU HAVE SHOPPED WITH THEM, SHITCAN THE CARD YOU USED AND GET A NEW ONE. DON'T WAIT FOR THE FRAUD CHARGES TO APPEAR.Here's an email that went out from WMD, after they acknowledged the problem:To valued WMD Customers: We sincerely appreciate your support of our products. However we regret to inform you that WMD has been the victim of a malicious cyber attack that possibly compromised credit card numbers of some of our customers. We received reports from multiple customers late yesterday evening and this morning that after ordering on 2/10 that their cards were used frauduletly thereafter. We have taken all reasonable measures from our side to secure the site and prevent further fraudulent activity. Please take a proactive stance toward security of the card used in your transaction to contact your card security department and monitor activity closely. WMD NEVER sees the card number used on web orders. Both the processor and web host have been alerted. Should fraudulent activity be discovered, WMD recommends that you aggressively pursue this issue with your credit card bank to criminally prosecute the individual(s) responsible for this activity. WMD will absolutely pursue all legal avenues available to us. The shopping cart was also severely hampered by the volume of orders on 2/10. This created a situation where multiple orders may have been entered (either by the individual or just by a bug in the system). If this occurred to your order, reversal of all charges except for one have been processed and should show up no later than Monday 2/25. In fact many refunds have already shown up in the customer accounts. If you did order on 2/10, we began processing orders as planned on 2/15 and will continue over the next two to three weeks. The delivery schedule for the BCGs was long due to the sheer volume of orders, but this complicates the verification and reconfirmation of orders. Know that our Team is working diligently to rectify the situation caused by the system failure and the fraudulent activity. We are also rebuilding the site and shopping cart to securely and robustly handle future orders. This site will be up and released again in Mid March. Thank you again for your support and we apologize for the extreme inconvenience that this illicit activity may have caused you. Respectfully, Wynn Atterbury President WMD Guns URGENT ALERT FROM WMD GUNS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 I'm glad WMD is standing up and alerting the public. I bought some of their stuff (through Brownells, so I'm safe) and I love their work. The last rifle I built had a 100% NiB coated trigger assembly, BCG and upper/lower receiver. I love that stuff!!

98Z5V Posted February 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2013 They didn't, at first, brother - blamed it on customers having hotmail, yahoo, and other email accounts... :cookoo: It took quite a few people bitching about it to make them realize it wasn't with customers, but with them, or their storefront/CC billing provider. :-[Over 30 people, some hit big, and they were the common link.At least they're fixing it, and acknowledged it.
