Type of a scam Phishing
I had been looking unsuccessfully in stores for a difficult-to-find household cleaning product which may have gone off the market. When I decided to search online, I found the product at a very reasonable price with free shipping at the Hot Offers Mall website. After I put in my credit card information, there was a message that my card had been declined & I was invited to try another card. Since there was no reason my card should have been declined, I became suspicious. I immediately locked my credit card. When I searched online for information about the site, I discovered that others had the same experience & that unauthorized use of their credit cards followed. Although I haven’t lost money, my credit card information was compromised & I suspect this website is a scam! A word to the wise–If it sounds too good to be true, it probably isn’t!
