I've ordered from them for years, 20+ transactions and never had an issue. They actually have stellar customer service and have gone above and beyond for me and I'm a prick when it comes to dealing with people. Are you sure that your card wasn't already compromised somewhere else?

I only order spores from websites that use Zelle, or Google Pay.
I never use websites that want me to put in my number directly.
No disrespect to Spore Works or websites that don't have these services. Just personal preference.
Try Mushroom Man Myc wesbite next time, they have good customer service.
I order mines from Grumpy Gills. Great service, Google Pay and they give you bonus spores.

I know I'm just one data point, but I've been a 'Works customer for a literal decade at this point (first purchase was in early 2012) and I've never had trouble. The only "problem" I've ever had was a king oyster culture syringe that got so chunky in the mail it wouldn't dispense, and they replaced it for me no charge.
But either way, I hope you get your trouble sorted out painlessly. I've had a card sniffed in the past and it was quite annoying, though my bank reversed the charges easily enough.

I'd be shocked if a well established company with such a fantastic reputation, who already has to operate in a very 'gray' legal zone stole your card information. The last thing they want is a reason for anyone to look at them. They do just fine on their own making their money because of their top tier products, not scamming people. I hope this gets resolved quickly and that you get your hard earned cash back, but I also wish you had 100% positive proof instead of a hunch that it was sporeworks before attempting to drag their good name though the mud on a public forum.

Seatgeek is a venue for resell tickets. I’ll be one of the many people on here vouching for spore works. They are top notch when it comes to customer service and getting really clean spore syringes. Only person I actually ordered from due to there outstanding decades of service. You probably fell for a phishing scam

Bigfoot I am not saying the company itself stole from me or that the site is involved in scamming.
The customer service rep who works for the company, who took my card info over the phone wrote my card info down and then used it at seatgeeks.com.
I believe the company is reputable as many people have said they've used them for years with zero problems.
However, any company that would allow a customer service rep to steal from a customer and not make it right they're not such a fantastic company.
I understand people's skepticism being that this happened with a company that's got a good reputation, but I assure you it did. I didn't fall for a phishing scam, it wasn't a dupe website, The Spore Works representative stole my money. To make matters worse I was told a supervisor would be calling me and they did not.

You see, when a person is on payroll for a company, they ARE that company. You should have 100% concrete proof before you start pointing fingers.
Again, I genuinely hope this gets sorted out quickly. But, it's not sporeworks.

Sucks this happened to you but for what it's worth, ordering spores with cash or money order is the way to go. No payment processor BS, No card numbers, and plausible deniability.

traven - ive lived in two parts of the US. in florida a rip off means a shit deal. in hawaii it means a theft
regarding the issue at hand, ive only ever bought spores from the company in question. ive always given my card over the phone, they have always treated me well, and if i ever again get the itch to do some microscopy they will be my first stop
however, to be fair to OP, companies hire humans. as of yet we cant be sure that a new employee didnt go rogue. i hope all of this is resolved, and will be looking forward to an update

Sucks that happened, hopefully the bank gets you sorted out quickly.

It may be weeks or months before a stolen card number is used for purchases. Maybe you're right and it was the phone rep, it takes all kinds, but someone cashing out stolen cards with tickets probably wouldn't immediately use a card they personally stole directly from a customer at their legitimate job.

That was my very first thought. But OP was insistent that the card was too new.

In sponsors forum or simply closed IMO. No update for OP.
Would it be legit to assume he realized SW had nothing do to with it and never came back to tell us? Just a though 💭
