I suspect that my bankcard details have been stolen.
I ordered clothes from what I thought were a Swedish clothes web shop, but the money were drawn I later saw in my internet-bank, from Beijing in China. Some days later I got problems with my Netflix payments. It wouldn't go through so I contacted my bank who said they had "soft blocked" the card (don't really know the correct term). I had to contact some department within my bank who handles the security, blocking cards. It was blocked because of that "China" purchase. So I had to verify that I had made this purchase and they unblocked my card. Then I could re-register my card at Netflix to make payments.
So today I saw an unknown activity when logging in on my bank. It was a payment with no money drawn, which I assume is when you register your card with a service, from 'Blizzard Entertainment Schiphol-Rijk'. For instance when you register on Netflix they first draw no money only later to draw money. So assume my card had been registered this way with Blizzard Entertainment.
I immediately sent a message through the bank, but thought I bit further and decided to call the same number I had gotten before, and they completely blocked my card instantly. So this happened tonight, and the "activity" had just been noticed by me, so perhaps I were moments away from getting robbed? I never had anything to do with Blizzard, I think. The only games I have is Wolfenstein Youblood on steam, which I purchased months ago on my computer, and they have nothing to do with Blizzard. Otherwise I have no other games or consoles but had PlayStation 4 a few years ago. Is it possible that this "activity" is from some old games I may have downloaded years ago on PlayStation 4? But I only downloaded free games, and I don't remember if I entered my credit card on those occasions, perhaps I did.
The shop I ordered from is -http://www.helstektgris.se. They drew more money than what it said on checkout, the payment were successful but the order is 'pending' six days after purchase, while they say it should take them 1 to 2 days to send it. If you speak Swedish the name of the shop should get you suspect. In English it would say 'whole fried pig dot com'. Later I saw that the language on this shop were poorly written, with grammar mistakes and English used in some places within Swedish sentences.
I called my father after calling the bank, he said he knew of someone who had been ripped off before but didn't know from who. Dad also told me he had made a similar mistake ordering from what he thought were a Swedish shop but also turned out to be from china. He had no clue until after he had made his purchase but he did receive his item after two months. Turned out that many had been ripped off from that website. And he had to pay additional tax when getting his package.
So why did I order from this website? Well, I have two zip hoodies that I like very much and wanted a new one for the future. They are the same, and I ordered the first one many years ago from a legit website in Sweden, the second one I ordered from France. I tried to order it from eBay too, but didn't receive it, and in fact got some other hoodie because they didn't have the hoodie I wanted. So they decided to send some other hoodie without notifying me. I ended up sending it back but agreed to pay the shipping. The seller still has this hoodie item up on eBay to this day. The hoodie is nowhere to be found last time I checked around.
There wasn't any secure verification when I made this "china" order. I simply entered my card details and the purchase went through immediately. Usually my bank has a verification process, but I have experience with some other sellers who don't have this feature with their purchases.
