Did you give them your credit card number? I have never conducted business with 2Checkout afaik. Since I don't have a business relationship with them, I didn't feel comfortable giving them my credit card number. So I created a temporary card number through my bank with a very low maximum which expires in a month to make my purchase. It seemed like a prudent move and was a very simple thing to do.
And fwiw, I used an email address I set up eons ago for this very type of thing. I give companies I don't have a relationship with an alias address connected to my "junk email address" (such as 2check@whatever). If I get no SPAM after a period of time and continue to do business with said company I might update my email address with the company to my real one at a later date. Again, a simple enough precaution.
Good idea. I'm not sure that is even an option at my bank. Never heard of it...but good idea!
For the "record" I was not implying that 2checkout (or Hasleo) would do anything nefarious or is not reputable. Note the question marks. They were not "defamatory allegations" - They are questions/concerns, not statements. I was just expressing general concerns one would/should have with any online purchase. A third party "money taker" is always suspect to me.
Ever give your email address to an insurance company who swears it is safe, secure and won't be shared to get a car insurance quote? Within 20 minutes you'll get SPAMMED with "offers" from other random insurance, and other unrelated companies.
