Anyone else been advised of this after buying tix? I got notified 4 days ago and had a text from Amex questioning a transaction last night. Was a fraud attempt and card was cancelled.
Getting a little paranoid. This is the third "hack advisory" in the past month for me. No credit card involved in the other 2.
was the AMEX Txt Legit?
Yep. Asked to text 1 of I made the transaction 2 if not. Second text asking to contact Amex immediately. Logged into Amex to verify the phone number legit and, after the usual ID checks they cancelled the card. I said earlier that other incidents were not CC related but I since remembered my Which Bank CC was used to book a hotel in the Grampians a few months ago and had to be cancelled. But I picked it up myself as I monitor CC's regularly. Like I said, getting a little paranoid.Quote:

Yeah got the same email today. Not sure how much of this Inbenta tech crap effects me.
Didn't affect me at all. Until some scrote tried to use the credit card number.Quote:

I'd advise anyone who gets that e mail to log in to Ticketmaster and check if they have stored your credit card number and delete it. They had mine and I'm 99% sure they didn't ask first. I ALWAYS decline. You might also consider contacting the card issuer for advice.
Yeah I reset my password and it deleted my stored credit card entry.Quote:

I'm 100% sure I unchecked the "Store Card" box. They just got a fair rant e mail and if I don't get some answers PDQ I'll be lodging a dispute.Quote:

PS. the ID monitoring mob they've offered a free subscription to gets reviews comparable to Rat's Arse so I'm not going near them either.
Yeah I definitely wont be going near that ID mob either. To be honest I normally wouldnt click that box, and if automatically clicked I would normally unclick it so I was pretty mystified to find out they had my credit card details when they sent me the email, at the time I just put it down to me just probably overlooking the box but usually its something I wouldnt overlook so I did question it abit in my mind. I think you might be onto something. They might be storing the information regardless...Quote:

I see that Ticketmaster are closing down Seatwave. Some of the ticket prices on that site for RWC 2015 were absolutely atrocious.
