Went online and found what I wanted to order. Created profile with password. JFC.US emailed me confirmation of my registration with an email containing my password. Nice. I continued with my purchase. When I got to the end of the transaction, I expected to give my CC number, considering there was talk of 128 bit encryption etc etc on the site. But I just got to the end and it said "Thank you for your patronage.
View the order by following the link below."
So wondering how/when I should give them my payment,,,, I checked my email. Sometime later, I received an email saying: Dear Customer,
You can now pay your invoice by credit card payment direct without creating an account.
For Faster Service type or cut and paste the Remark into the payment home page.
Remark: 548xxxxx7 (blanked out by me for security)
Click on the link to pay the credit card processing fee has already been added
https://www.fashionpay.com/fastPayAction.action?MerNo=1492&Amount=70.52&ordernumber=5484us
Or cut and past it into your browser" END
Fashionpay? This guy has numerous websites... thought I was ordering a jersey... but who knows.
So I click the link and it takes me to a webiste that gives me options to pay by Visa, Mastercard, Interac (for canadians only), Paypal, Western Union, and a couple others. This is already really weird and making me uncomfortable, bu tI decide to forge ahead. I click on Visa, and send my info.
Then I receive this:
Dear Customer,
Western Union and EMoneyGram are the only 2 options for using MasterCard right now
Please fill out the payment form and email it back to us
Send payment to:
FIRST NAME: Yan
LAST NAME: Liao
Receiving City is Guangzhou, Guangdong China
Email us with the EXACT info you typed into the form
Western Union MTCN:
EMoneyGram Reference:

Sender's Last Name:

Your Invoice Number: Order # 5484 us 1j / $67
http://www.westernunion.com/
http://www.emoneygram.com/ END\\
So if this isn't enough to make you freak out, I don't know what is. They've got my Visa, and I'm screwed. PLUS McAfee is telling me this is a prohibited file type.
One minute later, I receive another email, as follows:
Security Question Answer: 5484

Scary, right?
So I send: This is $#*!ed. Forget about it.
I get back from John Taylor: Use interac
(huh? I already paid with VISA and I phoned Visa and confirmed the charge went through!)
Less than 1 minute later I get another email ( I hadn't even responed to the first one yet!):
Statistically speaking 3% of all customers are idiots or $#*!s.
They shouldn't be allowed to buy anything... at anytime... from anyone...
If you are one of the 3% then please go buy elsewhere
We don't want your business.

OK, he's calling me a bad customer? Wow. I'm just trying to order a jersey...
Then ten minutes later I get this:
Maybe you are just too $#*!ing stupid
That is much more likely considering we have over 70,000 successful transactions
You are the only idiot that can't figure it out END//
I say: It's $#*!ing stupid. Like you.
He says: I doubt it's me and the other 70,000 people that managed it
But maybe it is everyone else in the world is $#*!ing stupid
And you are the only smart one. Too smart to figure out simple $#*!
Yea. Maybe that's it
I say: You're website sucks. You suck. $#*! you prick.
He says: At least we can figure out how to do simple things
Yes. Our website sucks
That's why we are no. 1
70,000 transactions and growing because we suck

I guess you are just too smart for simple things

Three minutes later:
"We proactively go after good customers, which is the best defense against the bad guys," says John Taylor, vice president of global strategy and marketing. "We avoid the 'victim approach' to spray and pray marketing that many take and later lament when they have acquired disloyal customers who want the moon but are unwilling to pay for it. We have designed all of our systems and processes around the best customers as opposed to penalizing best customers by making rules around the non-loyal customers."
Bad customers can cost you money easily. Anyone who has had a difficult customer to deal with knows this. You can spend countless hours working with a customer and you lose money out of it. This is why it's so important to pre-qualify your customers. John Taylor CTO Global Media

Hard to figure since you are too $#*!ing stupid to know
So how do you expect us to know?
My reply:
I'm going to re-post all the transactions I made and hoops I had to go through and all your great "customer service" responses. I will make this my mission. Have a nice day.
His reply:
Yes go ahead $#*!ing idiot
Waste more of your useless life
Get off the meth and learn to read
No wonder nobody loves you.
AND then, a few minutes later:
Why the $#*! would you give out your visa info?
Are you really that $#*!ing stupid?
And 6 minutes later:\We also sent you one called VISA
And one INTERAC
So you could choose which payment method you wanted
My reply: Wow. You don't have a $#*!ing clue how your website operates, do you?
His response: Hmmm
No idea
I just know I make more money in the first hour of each day than you make all month
And then, 2 minutes later:
It's called process dumb $#*!
I make money while I eat, take a $#*! or sleep
Someone like you wouldn't understand what that's like
To $#*!ing stupid to figure out how to make real money
And to $#*!ing busy kissing your bosses $#*! or sucking his $#*!
To make any money END//
