what an interesting post to make in this topic... how appropriate

And reported.

oops, didn't mean to do that. fixed.

I only buy if I get viagra with it and my Nigerian uncle is resurrected.

But now honestly: If GOG was marked, it might be solely on them being in Cyprus. They are not fraudulent.

If it was something else, you should freeze your card and get a new one (in Germany you can call 116116 for that. Wasn't that implemented in all of Europe? Might need to google for the number in NL.)

Is it possible that you were just charged twice for the same game on GOG? Sometimes it happens if your browser gets stuck.

That's one of the reasons why I buy most of my games here.

Although, sometimes early on the GOG sales would get flagged by my CC issuer which was something of a hassle. But, I haven't had any trouble with that in quite a while.

I haven't been on any startpagina.nl page for ages, but on their antivirus page people have always been helpful while knowing what they're talking about.
Their instructions in their sticky threads might help you out. I suggest you follow their instruction to scan your system.

TheEnigmaticT the OP didn't clarify whether his card was actually used fraudulently or if the bank had flagged potentially fraudulent activity and then blocked his card....

As an example - over the weekend I purchased Populous and Populous II ....

As sometimes happend the bank (Barclay's in my case) freaked out at this overseas purchase and flagged the account as having potentially fraudulent activity (this has happened before... my wife and I have yelled at the bank on multiple occasions about this)....

The first we knew of the block was when attempting to pay for groceries at Tesco's yesterday.... needless to say it's somewhat embarrassing to be asked for 'an alternative form of payment' for your monthly shop.... took an hour of arguing on the mobile phone with Barclay's to get them to remove the block and allow access to our money so we could complete our shopping....

Obviously there was no actual illegitimate fraudulent activity and the flag was - as usual - a false positive.

Hi All,

Thank you for all comments Here are a few answers to some of your questions:

1 - this is fraud; I've been contacted with the fraud department of my bank and all kind of US transaction have been booked on my card last Sunday (my purchase was last Friday and I'm located in the Netherlands and didn't bought anything from the US). My card is blocked now.

They'll sent me a list of all recent transactions which I have to mark as fraudulent.

2 - I run F-secure virus scanner which haven't found any key loggers so far. Although I understand that this scanner could also miss a key logger.

I'll try some of your tips to scan my computer for key loggers.

Thanks,
Mark

Hi there,

I just want you to know that my Bank has let me know that my card has been 'skimmed'. Likely this has been done a few months ago when I was on holiday in Aruba. My skimmed card has been used for two transactions:

1 - Carl's JR 1100652 QPS - San Diego
2 - Wal Mart #2150

My bank blocked my card after the 2nd transaction.

The moment of my first purchase at GOG and the moment that the Fraud was discovered (two days later) has lead me to believe that the Fraud has something to do with my purchase at GOG. I'm happy that this isn't the case.

So my sincere apologies for the trouble I might have caused you.

Regards,
Mark

Just one of the reasons I never take my card on holiday.
Tourist destinations are notorious for this sort of thing.
Of course, there's a whole other set of risks in taking a large wad of cash....

I hope they fix your problem. And pretty good to see you back here :)

Kudos for coming here and putting things right. :)

Also, I'm glad that the fraud was apparently discovered quite quickly. From what you describe, the damage could have been much higher.
