I have purchased seeds online from several companies. My 2 favorites are...marijuana-seeds.nl and Attitude. Both companies do a very good job. However, I have always used my debit card with zero issues. Today, I went to the bank to withdraw a couple a hundred bucks. My debit was declined. I knew better than that so I tried again. Still declined!
I went into my bank and asked what my balance was. When they told me 74.32 I about threw up. I knew something was wrong. I always keep around 2 grand in my account and had over 1800.00 on Friday.
They printed my last 2 weeks activity and on Saturday, I had over $700.00 withdrawn. On Sunday, I had another $700.00 withdrawn. Then this morning, they got me for $320.00! I obviously filled out disputes on these charges and in a matter of a couple of hours the bank gave me a "temporary deposit" that covered most of my loss. The bank was really helpful in working this out.
These charges were made in London GB andthankfully, I am in the USA. I have sent an e-mail to marijuana-seeds.nl explaining to them that they have a phuckin thief working for them. The bank traced it back to Planet Wax which is the name they use on all their billing. It has been over 3 months since i odered any seeds from anyone, so don't let your gurad down.
I really hate that this happened because I will NEVER use them again and they WERE one of my favs. If I would not of been on my toes, it is possible they could of kept stealing money from my account and created a bigger mess than it already is. I have had to cancel my credit cards...debit cards...open a new account and deal with all the fallout from this thief.
I just wanted to give everyone a heads up and to tell you guys to be careful. It is dangerous enough to buy seeds with out worrying about the companies stealing you blind!
If you want some advice on ordering seeds with your CC, heres the best method to do so. Set yourself up with a paypal account, and then get the paypal add on. What the add on does, is allows you to use paypal to buy anything anywhere on the net even where paypal isnt accepted. What it does is, the add on basically protects your REAL cc number, and buys whatever your buying with a generated cc number provided by paypal, thats only good for the one transaction that your making. By doing this, it allows you to make your purchase, but also stops them from being able to charge any more cash to that card number, because it was just a one time number generated by paypal, and it doesnt even come close to resembling your CC number. Keeping yourself protected in situations like buying seeds, is paramount. Dont think that its a bad idea to use your CC or Debit card to make the purchases, just make sure you take proper precautions when using them. I promise you its the most secure way to buy your seeds and still be able to get them in a week or so, rather than sending in your money to them via mail, which IMHO is rediculous anyways.
So keep on using your CC, but go to
www.paypal.com, and register with them, and setup your account using your cc or debit card. then, check the feature out to set up the paypall add on, and your good to go guys. I would hate to see more people get ripped off like that when theres a solution out there that prevents that shit from ever happening again.
hope that helped people,
