Fraudsters
-
ade sholeh hidayat - PayPal - Indonesia
Mohd Azizi - Credit Card - Malaysia
Allan Danuwidjaja - Credit Card - Indonesia
Nor Azam Said - Chose to pay by bank transfer and did not bother sending the money - MalaysiaLoads of people have tried the "I'll pay by bank wire" option and then never sent the money. We assume because they are stupid enough to think we'll send the goods before we get the transfer. Unfortunately, this has resulted in us closing the pay bay bank transfer option.
We have also implemented and "If your address is in Indonesia or Malaysia, we will not accept your order" policy. But, if you get in touch with us or are a repeat good customer, get in touch and we can sort you out.

We have had about 6 successful frauds against us in 11 years trading, so we have not done too badly. But the overhead taken to manage out the bad guys is a pain in the arse.
A decent fraudster can work out a CVC code and expiry date from a Visa card in 6 seconds.

That's absolutely insane that it's that easy for them.
I know all our software for client management had gotten really confusing, to the point that I have no control (and can provide no assistance) over a clients credit card on file once they input it into to our system. Tokenization is great, but I guess it's still not a perfect process.

Interesting… I was under the impression that Visa was safer than MC since a lot of banks have recently
Dropped MC as their card of choice and swapped to Visa - but I bet that matters more about batch and swipe costs than anything else..Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

**After some to-ing and fro-ing including some telephone conversations, I agreed to send him some gear. Anyway, he stopped communicating with me, so I got in touch with InStyle's head office.
The response:**
Dear Giles,I am very shocked to hear about that. There is no InStyle Men in France, and there was never a plan to do so. This guy is just a liar and as I said, I am really shocked that somebody is using our brand to steal clothes.
I put our Parisian correspondence Inna Fischbuch in cc, that she is informed that someone is acting like that.I am very sorry to say, but as we have nothing to do with this request, we can not refund any clothes. But what we can do: publish your label (this time for sure!) in our upcoming issue (october issue).
For further questions, please do not hesitate to call me.
Best, Kerstin
