Credit card info stolen from Strat's site

PostTue Feb 09, 2021 10:41 am

Head's up, not sure why the company isn't posting this on these forums or on the 365 game pages or even on the main page, but several people that belong to strat facebook groups are reporting that Strat has informed them of a hack in late January/early February that has lead to credit card info being stolen and used for fraudulent purchases:

If you bought something from Strat recently and used your credit card, check with your bank and see if there are any weird charges. People are reporting on facebook, large fraudulent purchases in the thousands of dollars on their cards as soon as a day after a purchase on Strat's site. Paypal purcahses do not seem to be affected.

I can confirm being one of the victims & of course not being notified by STRAT. After purchasing the ratings guide (in that time frame) both cards on file with them were compromised. Someone in Atlanta, GA was gorging at Chik Fil A & trying to make their mortgage payment on my B of A card.

Sorry to hear that Rick.

Still nothing on any of Strat's web pages, that is inexcusable to me. I'm not the only one that did not receive the email.

I received the email, and coincidentally just had to cancel my CC because of a $530 charge at Sam's Club Online just this past weekend. I had purchased the ratings guide in January, and never thought anything of it until I received their email. Now, I can't help but think it must be connected.

I am one of the victims. Three purchases that weren't mine. Total was around $170.

1. Victoria's Secret (Yep!)

2. Cheesecake Factory (at least they have good taste in sweet stuff)

3. Overstock.com (I don't know)

Niners, THANK YOU for posting this! You probably saved me many more headaches. I need to check my bank balance more often.

$207 spent on e-bay. My bank has covered it. I like to think that they bought baseball stuff. Probably not though.

You are welcome.

I’m still flabbergasted Strat has not posted anything about it on any of their web pages. I get that they sent an email but clearly that didn’t reach the whole customer base. Totally irresponsible on their part IMHO.

I've copied this thread to the ATG and "60's, 70's, 80's......" forums to spread the word since SOM hasn't.
