I Fell for a Scam

  • If you entered your card details in that site you should cancel it.

    Double-check suspicious sites that asks for your bank or cards information.

    Glad you were lucky and they did not ended up with your money.

  • Everything that is wrong with security and expectations set by banks and merchants. SMS links are normal (should they be?). Non 2FA online card txns normal (should they be?). Weird domains to pay for things are normal.

    But then when I legit want to send $1000 my bank makes me go through a rat maze of a quiz where I need to answer correctly (rather than honestly/accurately) in order to send the money!

  • Cancel the card.

    They could've been logging the requests anyway

  • > Holy shit lads, I am on cloud 9 right now, I almost got scammed but due to a simple typo my data is safe. (They fixed the site shortly after when I sent a test card no). This is the luckiest day of my life lmao

    Yeah no, it isn't safe... The request was most likely logged in the webserver logs

    Cancel the card immediately.

  • Even if you did, I assume the credit card company will be able to reverse/cancel the transaction as long as you report in a reasonable time.
