Scam happens with the cards that have been used in one specific online shop, but the Nets say they are not allowed to tell which one it is to talk about.
– We do not know exactly what has been going on, because it is a site that we do not have direct dialogue with. But we see a great connection between the cards that have been used on this site and the cards being defrauded, ” says Tether, which describes the site as “legitimate”.
Tether state that several of the 45.000 Norwegian cards have already been blocked and that some of them are expired.
He emphasises that not all the cards have been misused, but that it is a preventive measure to recommend the suspension of all cards that have been used on that site.
