Dear Spiders - I just got a call from The Lacemaker (Courtland, Ohio) and was told that their site had been hacked (actually their host) and that financial information had been stolen. Evidently, several customers had activity on their credit card accounts and to be safe, they were calling everyone who had ordered through the web site.
I immediately called my bank and thankfully, there was no illegal activity on my account but because I had used a debit VISA, the thieves would have had access to my main checking account. My banker canceled my card number and has reissued it with a new number. I was lucky because the only thing I have to do is put up with the minor hassle of waiting for a new card but I thought I should spread the word as fast as possible to all lacemakers who might have ordered from them on line. I don't want to besmirch the reputation of the Lacemaker because, in truth, it could happen to any site that sells on line. I will, however, only shop from now on at sites that use a nationally recognized "Safe Sales" check-out. Be warned and check your accounts, especially those of you headed to Canada!
