First off, this may have little to do with Buds however it makes me quite suspicious about online payment methods.
I ordered a handgun from them Sunday night by using the "E-check" payment method. It's the first and only time that I've given my bank account and routing number to any online establishment. Six hours after ordering someone in Spain tried to deduct 1300.00 bucks from my account. There was also a small charge to a Super8 Motel that actually went through but it was only for about 5.00 bucks. A rep from my Credit Union called me this morning to let me know that my card and or account had been compromised and that I should basically change things up.
I'll also add that I don't really travel much. In fact, I've never been out of the country, nor have I ever been to a Super8 Motel. This is probably the most sketchy thing i've had happen to me and like I said, it may have little or nothing to do with Buds but it's a strange coincidence.
Seems like my Credit Union was really on the ball with this one. I had quite a bit of money in my checking at the time and I guess whenever there's something out of the ordinary (large deduction from an overseas ATM) they don't reward it. My advice to all of you is to watch your accounts closely and maybe try to avoid using direct payment methods all together. If you've had any similar experience recently please share it with me.
