In my earlier post I said Powerlet is kaput, but the website seemed to still be running. In checking things out I went through the process of ordering an item, but did not complete the transaction. This is where my failing memory is really aggravating. I may have input my Amex card # into the checkout form, but I can't remember. Damn! Anyway, yesterday there were two charges to my Amex card from some PayPal merchant but no name is shown. Today I got alerts about two charges from Canadian companies so I called Amex CS. While I was talking to him a third charge from Canada came through. My last two legitimate charges were at NAPA last week and Staples online this morning. I don't remember using my card anywhere between the two, except possibly my test of Powerlet site.
I really think that in visiting the Powerlet website someone captured my Amex card #. Tonight, in checking things again at Powerlet Firefox stopped me from getting to the payment page with the notice of it having an incorrectly configured certificate.
My recommendation is DO NOT GO to www.powerlet.com. Especially, do not attempt to buy anything from there.
It's a mess. The Powerlet name has been officially terminated, but the FB page and website are still up and running. Something doesn't smell right! Maybe it violated some sort of FB rule about making demeaning posts of a company.
