IMPORTANT-Credit cards problems/Metaltix?

[Quark]

There's not much else they can do now except upgrade their security.
I've been bloody lucky. My bank gave me the benefit of the doubt and refunded the money immediately. Banks here are starting to adopt a policy of 'if we don't find that you contributed to or benefitted from the fraud the bank refunds you'. I've sent them the Metal Tix email so hopefully that proves my case.

Well, I'm waiting for mine. And I went to the BE police but they can't do anything. They told me I could maybe press charges in Germany, and now I'm trying to call Kerkrade/Herzogenrath police, as they also speak Dutch there. It's both Dutch and German. (nice, international police stations)

With that German I'm sure I had her on the phone this morning.
I sent a mail for that letter and so forth.

Since my CC is also my debit card,I'm dumping my account all together & starting a new one just to play it safe.

the CC i used to buy the WOA ticket this year was used to buy something for 1 USD from some online store like more than 10 days ago and my bank stopped it immediately and informed me ..

Pretty much the same for me but for a quid. Also something for "Click N Buy" but no money was actually taken.

Found out when tried to use the card myself and was unable to. Phoned them up and they stopped the card and sending me a new one. Will check the statement thoroughly when I get it through..

Fortunately, my wallet destroys all cards in one year... I replaced my CC 3 months ago...

Sent an email to Blabbermouth asking them to post it because apparently Wacken won't...

They post all good rumours and shit, so it'll probably work

Perhaps they don't even care that this is actually true

At least someone's putting the article out.

Welche Dimension der Diebstahl hat, wollte der Veranstalter bislang nicht mitteilen.

Why not, because at least nearly a month of it going on isn't long enough? Because they're too afraid of potentially losing money to warn us so we can protect ourselves against getting money stolen?

GAH

Anymore about this?

funny shit
i just got an email today from wacken telling me that the fest is sold out ( no really!?) and to not buy tickets that may be available on ebay and other sites due to fraudulent tickets, haaa!

no mention of the main metaltix hack that messed so many peoples accounts up.

I replied on their last newletter telling them they are assholes for not reporting it in public.

That won't help, as that is an automatic generated mail address, and won't be read anyways.

If you want to do such, then send a mail to info@metaltix.de.

I paid by debit card, and had a good few thousand UK pounds taken from it from Spain pushing me well into an unauthorised overdraft. The bank phoned the same day and confirmed the fraudulent transactions. That was about a month ago and I still haven't got my money back yet.
