After doing business with Midway for several years, and several thousand dollars worth, last year I had my Credit card number stollen by somone who worked there. It happen when I called to inquire about a credit I didn't receive. The lady on the phone asked me for the number, expiration date and CID. I gave it to her, not unusual since I give the whole card to merchants all the time. Two days later my bank called me to tell me that there were over 23 small charges for items I dont ever buy all web offers, things like womens skin care products, Hoodia what ever the hell that is, and blockbuster online, smoking cessation, and weight loss etc. All web trial offers, I cancelled the card and the bank got on the fraud, A few days later packages of all sorts started arriving, all kinds of special offers that if you didnt sent them back they would bill you like $100. I took them to the post office and sent them back, package refused fraud.
I called Midway because for six weeks I hadn't used the card, except two days before when I called midway, it was my web purchase card.
I called Midway and told them I was certain the number was stollen there by the person I talked to. They were rude, and didnt want to hear it. I called them twice more, asking for higher memebers of management each time, but I was told basically to stuff it.
A month after that the Sherriff of the town near midway called me at work, and told me that he was investigating several instances of credit card fraud that had been reported as comming from customers of Midway USA, he didnt say wether it was by IP address, or if the bank or midway had called.
I told him the story, and he told me that the trial offers were a test and that the fraudster had set up an e-mail address similar to mine at Yahoo. I wasnt the only victim there were several.
Midway never called me to apologize, or make any amends, and I am very reluctant to do any business with them.
