Problem With Herbies (not really with Herbies themselves -please read)

So about two days ago I went to place an order with Herbies, I have done so in the past and never had a problem and all of a sudden my card was declined. No problem I didn't care I decided to wait anyway. So they called me and said that I needed to call my bank (they seem to over estimitate the motivation level of a stoner). So the order was cancelled.

Yesterday morning I get a charge for .34 on the card from some strange company I had never heard of and once again I did not call my bank due to my motivation level and really good couch lock going on for the day. About 10 hours later I get a call from someone saying they were with the fraud department from my bank asking me if I had any strange charges on my card, "why , yes I did good sir!" So he told someone was trying to use my card in Ft Worth Texas and they had stopped them, "cool" and they needed me to reset my passwords. well this is where it got fun.

I get real paranoid and I immediately transferred all my money into another account and the guy says okay I want you to use this as your password "Password565" All of a sudden I had a moment of clarity and I was like how do I know you are from my bank and he said well the number on the caller id is from your bank, and here is your card number and this is your address and your email address. And that email address is how I know it was from my Herbies order I have a seed ordering email address.

So I was bored and fucked with him for about a half hour longer acting like I was too stupid to change a password then I randomly would talk about working at the FBI until he hung up.

I like Herbies but I think their card processor is hacked

I've noticed that most of these companies that still offer a CC as a payment option are using companies I've never heard of from outside of the country. My last CC payment for a different seed bank was processed by some Italian company, so I've just been keeping an eye on it. As long as people pay with a CC and not a Debit they'll be fine.

I used them in the past and did not have a problem. But now there are so many US options that I think it is better just to stay local anyway. I just can't believe I almost fell for it. lol

I used to order from herbies back 10 years ago. I never had issues. One time a 500$ order never showed. Like 2 months. I sent an email, they resent the whole order. I received the replacement and like a week later the first one showed as well. I have not ordered from herbies since probably 2014 so don’t know much about their current cc charging schemes.

I just ordered a few seeds through Herbie's a few days ago and didn't get any of this tomfoolery. It's already been processed and shipped. Just waiting on that Runtz Punch and Grandmommy Purple.
