Has anyone had any fradulent charges from amazon.co.uk? I just got two fradulent charges?

Mar 27, 2012 1:52 AM

I clicked on a deal the other day from amazon.co.uk (I believe it was the Xmen 4 movies for cheap), well after I clicked on it and then saw it was from the UK I closed it out and thought that was that. Well just a few minutes ago I had two charges to my credit card from this amazon.co.uk that were not authorized. Had to close my card and now go through all the inconvenience with that. Did know if anyone else experienced this or not. Thanks!

Nope. I bought the Harry Potter blu-ray set back in January and I haven't had any trouble.

Were those the only charges, or were there others too? Were they just authorizations or actual complete charges? Could you just dispute them with the credit card company, or did they suggest closing that account and opening a new one for you instead?

How much were the charges? And if you just clicked on the deal, saw it was UK, and left, how did they get your CC number?

amazon.co.uk is part of amazon, so the site itself is legit.

Are you sure you didn't accidentally buy some movies with one-click?

I'm sure I didn't buy anything with one click or anything on this site and that part of it could have been coincidence, but I thought that was a little odd. It was for a gift certificate payable to some other person at another email address. The charges were just under $100, but I caught it almost immediately and quickly called my card to cancel it. I've don't know what happened, I try to be real careful, but sometimes you just never know. Thanks for the comments!

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
