possible hack of Hogden retail sight

[SWgeezer]

I had a pop-up ad show on my browser a few days ago. It looked like a legitimate site. Hogdenretailstore. It had Varget listed for $41.99 a pound so I put an 8lber in my cart. It offered payment by zelle, and a few other non-traditional payments. There is a chat that pops up with Mauris as the moderator. I asked about credit card for purchase and he replied sure, just type in your cc info. So I couldn't find anything that looked fishy with the site, it is on https etc. He replied that my card had been denied. I thought maybe this was due to the new credit card rules on firearms accessories purchases. I didn't think much about it until last night Capitol One advises me they had declined a charge for $738.50 to fiverr. I call and sure enough here is a charge to shopify for $0 that was declined and then the charge to fiverr.

First time I have been skimmed by such a very legitimate looking site. Capitol One had locked the account down and is issuing a new card.

Hodgdon is spelled Hodgdon.

No legitimate business takes Zelle over CC

Incorrect spelled name
Zelle only
Unsecure credit card check out
You literally typed out your credit card into a chat box

Next you are going to tell us how you paid the IRS or the Microsoft refund department in Gift cards.

pop-up ad? pop-up ads are the door-to-door salesmen of the 21st century. If they show up, you definitely don't want it.

Saw the same thing last week purporting to be affiliated with IMR - something like IMRRetailStore.com. I just checked, looks like it has been suspended.

I can't believe that there people so stupid that they fall for this crap in this day and age.

Every time I see one of these threads this is what I imagine is going on:

I've had to take admin rights away from my Aunt on her computer.. at one point, her browser was just a wall of tool bars.

"It offered payment by zelle, and a few other non-traditional payments."

The only clue you needed to know it was a scam.

They are everywhere. Just this week, I spoke to a guy who’s sent $317k to his “wife” who’s being held captive in South America with their son. He’s sending money for her release.

It’s been going on almost a year, their baby is 9mos old, and they met on Facebook.

They’ve never been face to face and they have a baby together….

I suggest disabling Notifications in your browser(s). They are this era's pop-ups and what is worse appear to come from the OS and be "legit" to those who don't know what they are. I see plenty victimized by "infection alerts" that appear to come from Defender but are a scam notification that came from some random site they were browsing.

Firefox is the only one that allows you to block everything by default but what you allow (Example; webmail or online calendar notifications).
Chrome, Edge and everything based on Chromium are block everything with no exceptions or the never ending whack-a-mole of blocking individual sites.

I knew I would get many assholish remarks. I was doing a search for varget powder. Hodgden was spelled properly. The only issue was the payment plan. Varget at $42 a lb, I wasn't worried about Capitol One sorting it out. Poors gotta go poor.

I need that guys address.
I have kidnapped his dog, and want to demand ransom.

Is the site back online yet? Ready to place an order....

Ok Boomer.
I hate that you feel that way, but I would like to express my sincere appreciation to you, for posting an entertaining thread at your expense.

Don't be mad.
I would like to give you some advice if I may.
If you fuck a goat, its not necessary to confess that sin.
In a vein of solidarity, I will share something I've never told. I dont have to tell it, and someone will likely give me shit for it, some asshole like myself. But hey, assholes gotta asshole, man.

Back about 4 months ago. I started using my fuckbook page again after a 6 year hiatus. I was just trying to shit post my account into oblivion, but thats another story.

So there is a site selling walking liberty half dollars for 9 bucks each. Pay with PayPal. Looked legit as fuck.
"Hell yeah! Send me 10!"

Went through PayPal, checked out shopping cart, all good.
Get my receipt, and I have sent my money to Wong Long Po and the rest of the info was in that Chinese sanskrit. I'm sitting on my couch with wife watching TV or something.
Upon seeing the name and sanskrit:
Me: "SHIT! I just got fucked out of a hundred bucks! Fuckhelldamnshit! FUUUUCK!"
Wife: "What are you screaming about?"
Me: "I just gave a shellcracker to a scamming chinaman on farcebook!"
Wife: "Don't you know not to buy crap on facebook?"
Me:".......uhm.....no..."
Wife: "Please tell me you didn't use our bank card."
Me: "Hey, I'm not that stupid."
Wife:

Me: "I paid with Paypal."
Wife: "File a claim, get your money back.

I filed a claim, got my money back in about 4 days.

We call this "Tuition"

 

[Skunk]

We call this "Tuition"

I told him it was a common scam and he’d never get the money back. He wasn’t worried about the money at all, just the baby. He said, “I’m almost sixty, it’s time to be a grandpa.”

I told him I thought we were talking about his wife and child and asked if it was instead his daughter and grandson. He said, “nope, my wife and son. Ready for them to be home so I can be PawPaw.”

I didn’t ask any other questions.

 

[acudaowner]

https://hodgdon.com/ prices sure do seemed hacked 60.00 per 1lbers and 400ish for 8lbs + shipping and hazmat . at those prices I might as well go to gun broker where I know they are screwing with buyers .

And with those deductive reasoning skills, you’re gonna stay poor. A fool and his money is easily parted.

I'm going to fess up and admit that I fell for the "your wife is being held for ransom" scam. I immediately went out and empty our savings account, buying three of my grail guns, a new pick-up, then spending the rest of the day with four of the finest hookers money could buy. It was only when I finally made it home and saw the bitch's car in the driveway did I realize that I'd been had.

Maybe you should be buying English spelling, grammar, and writing lessons instead.

Not to take away from a good comedy thread but I’m pretty sure that Hodgdon has their prices that way specifically to undercut the gunbroker resellers without hurting their own dealer network.

And there it is in a nutshell.

The OP feels that those who are critical of him are “assholes” while those who are critical of him think he’s a blithering, unteachable, idiot.

 

[adubeau]

You know those being assholes got scammed at least once or twice... fuckers need some revenge...

 

[supercorndogs]

[pmclaine]

[supercorndogs]

Related, like the OPs parents?

Are either one of these wrong?

 

[armorpl8chikn]

There has been an assertion there are assholes running mucky in this thread.
I disagree. Not one asshole has give me a rash of shit for thinking I could buy cheap silver coins.
Ok, sure, after the fact I did realize how stupid that was...but....
If there were many assholes around, ida had at least a grazing kick in the nuts by now.

Are the breachers engraving shitty blackout barrels and selling them as WC?
WC must have been breached a very long time ago.
Glad they finally caught them.
