Description

I was purchasing pet food from Chewy. I received a pop-up from my internet browser that another site had the same item much cheaper. I clicked the Edge pop-up and it took me to vekastore.com where the prices were much cheaper. So much so that I placed a large order with them. I saved 30-40% vs Chewy which should have raised red flags. During checkout, I gave them my name, address, phone number, email, and credit card information (number, expiration date, 3-digit code). Very soon afterwards, I received a text message from my credit card company with a 6-digit code that the website said they needed. Knowing that these codes are never used for purchases, I reached out to my credit card company and realized this site was trying to obtain internal access to my credit card. With it, they would have changed my password and made purchases and cash advances. I canceled my credit card before they could do anything and I never gave them my 6-digit code. The address of their factory turned out to be a dilapidated house, clearly not a factory.
