Saw this post on a car forum that I belong to. I have used monoprice a couple of times and recall I found out about them from Supe, so I thought I post it up here. FWIW, monoprice's prices and service were excellent but it looks like their databse was somehow stolen/compromised.
"Monoprice (Home Theatre cables/computer cable) website has announced they are dealing with credit card fraud.
How do I know.......bought some cables from them in Nov09 and my credit card last week Thursday was over the limit when I tried to use it. Card cancelled...ect.
Come to find out that same thing happened to my parents who bought stuff from them in late Feb 2010.
If you have used Monoprice........someone has your cc number. My last purchase was over 4months ago.
Just letting you know. Real pain with the paperwork and reestablishing my accounts. The cc company has covered everything. Not a cent from me. Just my time."
