Whoaaah there... thats well out of order.
I bought a Brando screen protector and I have since gone back to them to buy a 128mb duo. The service I received was brilliant and I would certainly buy from them again.
However - if there was the slightest possiblilty that there was a dodgy part of the chain (maybe someone dodgy working at Brando, assuming this whole thing isn't some sort of mistake / coincidence) I would rather know about it and check my statements.
Don't flame this guy for posting information that is relevant to us, I for one will be looking at my statements very closely even though I still wouldn't hesitate to order from them again, and I think that if one other person finds something untoward as a result of this (related to Brando or not) it has been a very worthwhile post.
So now go and moan at someone else

Good point Jim.
A friend of mine was a victim of credit card fraud- he kept on blaming internet shopping- but it turned out someone at a petrol station scammed him!

I agree with bidz, this is no place to dis brando, cc fraud happens on a hourly basis, all the time, it could have been when you filled up your car, ate somewhere, an infinite number of possibilties. It could have been stolen 6 months ago, and now they decided to use it. Many people here have bought from Brando (I'm one of them) and are very happy with their quick service and good communications. Your post did say that you are not neccessarily blaming them, but once you let the cat out of the bag, it makes some people a little wary about buying from Brando. I think a clarification from you is in order.

This is a backup card. It was last used in a shop over a year ago.
Let's get this straight. I am not implying Brando are in any way at fault here. I am just alerting people to the fact that the supply chain regarding payment may be flawed and have a security breach. Of course it may not. If it does perhaps my original post may help avoid someone else having problems.
If it doesn't then great, all is well.

please read my earlier post. I said the goods and service from Brando were excellent and that I would buy from them again, although perhaps not with the same payment method. I can't clarify much more than that.
Jeez I wish I hadn't bothered trying to be helpful.

Well, ok, i've calmed down now
To say it again, my opinion is that you yourself should have checked with your credit card company, and checked your statements, and such, BEFORE posting something like this, and atleast before mentioning a company name. Rumours are made of stuff like this, people twist and turn around stories, and suddenly, before you know it, on a different forum, people might be saying that Brando is a CC fraud company, and that people should not buy from them.
So still, before such info should be posted, i think you should have checked yourself. Even though you clarified that you did not blame Brando, you still mentioned the company's name, and, well - i guess you know how weekly rumour magazines work, they hear something, twist it around, and sell it as big news. Its just the same with forums, there are some people that like to bring the news, and might have seen this, and posted it totally different on a different forum, in a more negative manor.
If you checked with your CC company/statements, and noticed that it was Brando that billed you that much, ofcourse, then it would be appropriate to share the full info. But posting such stuff without being 100% sure yourself, and mentioning a company name, well - i personally don't think thats appropriate - but thats my opinion, and everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

I really was only trying to help others, I really didn't think that this would get blown up to such a high degree, especially as you say, CC fraud happens all the time. We all use them on the net and will continue to do so, but when an oddity occurs I thought it prudent to share it. Perhaps, as you say, I was wrong.
I categorically state that I do not blame Brando and I would buy from them again. they are an excellent company. The transaction was procesed by WorldPay so perhaps something went wrong there, again I do not know. The transaction on my card was not done by Brando, and I would never have thought it would be. I am still waiting to fnd out the country of the transaction.
Security can slip and improper CC usage can occur. I may never know how it happened but I may have helped someone to avoid it happening to them.
Maybe.

Don't sweat it woolie, you did the right thing. Better to let the cat out of the bag than to wait for it to stink up the place later on. Peace bro
