I read a bunch of reviews on multipole sites today, and while there are a ton of bad reviews, none of them mentioned this type of activity.
Yeah mostly just chitty packing jobs and stuff not working. I'm not going to cancel this card outright just yet but I'll keep a look out.
Mine arrived today. Same crappy packaging (or lack thereof) as others have seen. Most of mine were covered in glue or tape, but 30 minutes with a bottle of Goo-Gone and they are cleaned up.
The flame is kind of a hybrid soft flame/torch. Very nice lighters for the price.

Just got a call from Amex Fraud. Nailed for $3,000 charge to Luftansa and a 40.00 charge to Air asia.
Thankfully Amex is very good at detecting this stuff and stopped them in their tracks.
I have no doubt that the use of Schnoops was the culprit either through a direct fraud by the website or and indirect hacking into their database.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to do this, but I emailed Shnoop asking who is responsible and for any record of hacks/intrusions, and if they don't respond to me by Tuesday morning, I will make sure the police know they are not cooperating.
I used Poopal so I am safe so far. However, I started the thread about this deal which led to the same thread getting posted on a couple other boards so I feel a little guilty people are getting screwed over!
If you have had fraudulent charges, can you please add your name to the list and include the dollar amount? I would like to work with someone who has had these charges to file a criminal complaint. If someone has already contacted the police, can you let me know?
List of BOTLs with fraudulent charges (please copy and paste in your post):
1. Starz26 - $3,000

same here, but a good bit of elbow grease and goo gone polished 'em up. Too bad goo gone doesn't help in the area of scuffs, scratches, and dents. Luckily, I only had one dent. The body on it was good, however, so I did a little transplant and put a good lighter that was jacked up into it's case.
Actually we first look to the merchant who took the credit card to pay any disputed charges if they are proven. If that fails we go to the processors of the card. Authorize.net is an online processor and would take the hit if the charge went through. Authorize.net is one of the largest "virtual" processor.
