Gearbest order site / alarming message

Hi Dear,
I am so sorry to hear this issue, please be assured we will do our utmost to help you solve this issue.
Could you pls PM with your order number and the screenshot.
Best regards

Surely GB have got some sales data that shows a significant drop in sales generated from BLF 

I suspect there’s a lot of people here like me who are staying away while they sort their sheet out.

They might, but in the big scheme of things BLF sales are but a drop in the proverbial bucket 55 gallon drum.
And then factor in people like me who are not “staying away” from GB…. “lost sales” are most likely not even a blip on their radar screen.

Over a period of about 4.5 years I have always had positive experiences with GearBest…… Probably at least 40 orders & never a problem.

However, I have never had an encounter such as the OP had…. “Yoobin Hacked”. :person_facepalming:

I can certainly understand his concern. :+1:

I’ll just continue to use PayPal & press onward. :wink:

Order Details:
19041400936709187735

I did not complete the order when the “YOOBIN HACKED” message appeared one line below my Visa Debit information.

I backspaced out everything that I had entered, changed my password, and this morning I am going to cancel that Visa debit card.

I am not going back to a page that tells me “YOOBIN HACKED” to take a screen shot. The order details appear above.

No more Gearbest for me. Two bad experiences in a row is enough. I learned my lesson.

IMO, I’ve stopped buying from Gearbest altogether.

They don’t deserve my money.

if you look through the reports from various sources, it would appear to be risky to buy at gearbest. Their privacy link they just shared is not addressing this issue at all. in fact, none of their feedback is addressing the security problems.

Yes I am staying away from GB also. Had a couple of lights on back order for months that I purchased on very good sales that they would never ship and claimed they were not in stock when I repeatedly saw them having Flash sales on the same item for more money. Gearbest finally cancelled the order saying they did not no when they would be able to restock them. I of course can go online and repurchase them at a higher price from GB. I really don’t know why they would go to this trouble for such a small amount of money but they did and continue to give me the run around at customer service !

I’m done with all these clowns. My accounts are obliterated and e-mails from them are unsubscribed.

I’ve had flawless dealings with Hank Wang at Intl-Outdoors and Simon Mao at his Convoy Store on AliExpress, so that’s where I’ll be buying from now on. If neither of them has what I want, I’ll do without.

I’ll get a dandy ‘fix’ when the FW3A’s are ready to ship. :slight_smile: But first, an S11 from Simon! :+1:

Wow… I just read this. The struggle is real, everywhere it seems. :frowning: . :person_facepalming:
Might want to see if you ate at any of these places in the 10 month period mentioned. :frowning:

Parent company of popular restaurants breached; payment card data exposed.

What happened?
Earl Enterprises, which manages popular restaurant brands including Buca di Beppo, Planet Hollywood, Earl of Sandwich, Chicken Guy!, Mixology, and Tequila Taqueria, announced that nearly 100 restaurant locations around the United States may have exposed customer payment card data over a 10-month period from May 2018 to March 2019.

In a data breach notice posted on its website, Earl Enterprises confirmed that malware was installed on some point of sale systems at certain affected restaurant locations. The malware was designed to capture payment card data, including credit and debit card numbers, expiration dates, and cardholder names. Online orders paid for online through third-party apps or platforms were not affected by this breach. Per the company, the incident has been contained and is being investigated.

Earl Enterprises has yet to confirm the size, but independent security researchers reported over 2 million stolen cards are now for sale on the dark web on the dark web, seemingly as a result of this breach.

What does this mean?
While cardholders are generally not liable for fraudulent charges, it is important to monitor your credit and debit card accounts for suspicious charges and report fraudulent activity to your bank in a timely fashion.
