I lucked out as an Ex-Employee I purchased the hostess gift only 1 week prior to the account theft of money. I fortunately told all my customers to hold off on ordering due to the site not even being prepared to take orders and the lack of organization. I didnt want to take any chances and lucky I told them to hold off since we were then notified of the theft of money and someone gaining access to all the personnel information. I didnt have anyone order so none of the info is now in the hands of a stranger and I cancelled my credit card.
EMPLOYEES BEWARE:
1: you need to cancel your credit cards that were associated with purchases with this company right away.
2: you need to have all your customers cancel their credit cards with any orders involving this company right away. I know this will be embarassing but their credit is at risk!
3: I hope no-one filled out a W-9 form or tax form because now your social security number is out there. You will need to notify your credit report companies and contact social security department to find out what you need to do to prevent theft of your number.
4: If you have paypal you need to change your password ASAP you do not know if you were actually on a secure site or not. I didnt use it cause it didnt look right. They could have your paypal account information.
5: I know a lot of you have money involved but first and foremost is getting the above listed things corrected to prevent credit loss due to someone using your information to open other accounts etc! A charge can show up months later so dont take the chance!
