Re: BidPay (Western Union Auction Payments) Contact Number Message #19 Posted by Michelle Slater on 10 Jan 2004, 8:06 a.m., in response to message #14 by Mike Sebastian (Texas)
Hi - I also live in Australia and just (as in the last hour) used WU for an ebay Auction payment (doh! should have read this first!).
As I was registering to make the payment - when I got to the page called Step 5 (which is the bit they ask you for your credit card details, email details, etc) the site suddenly changed from secure to not secure (ie. https:\\ for the rest of the transaction, then http:\\ for that particular page).
Of course, I didn't enter my info into that page when I noticed it, I fixed up the address to read "https:\\ etc" and it seemed to work ok so I continued, still feeling pretty uneasy about the whole thing, which is why I searched for WU fraud right after completion.
I'm not too savvy on the IT side of things, but I'm wondering if your info has been stolen by a third party at that point, rather than actually being WU?
