    Just to let you know, I am not blaming this on WGT in anyway, I just wanted to give a heads up to watch your credit card statements really close. I am not sure if my credit card was hack from using it on this site or at Advanced Auto. Those are the only two places I used my card. The first unauthorized transaction was the day after using my card on this site, a week after using it at Advanced Auto. The transaction was listed as Travel and Cash Advance that totaled over $800. Both of these were done in OH and I live in a small town in NE Mississippi. It was taken care of and my credit card provider took care of all the unauthorized transactions and closed the account.

    Like I said, this is in no way saying it happened on this site. Just a warning so you can check your statements. I checked my computer for spyware, and ran a complete virus scan and came up with a few low threat spyware, malware stuff. I will be only using Subway gift cards for now on.

    I rarely give out my card information to others. For most online transactions, I use Paypal(hope they don't hack the site). An extra security just in case.. and I use a card with less balance too.Too many scams to trust anyone. But it's a risk we have to take. check if https precedes the address, http is not secured and information travels as plain text. Could have been they got your information somewhere else, though.
