Optimum Point Theft *please read*

[theweave]

Wow I just read this today! Ironically, I was just in my SDM Optimum account today and so I know how easy it is to get in! I can't believe that it is not more secure (password needed) or something. Especiallly when these points can be used for GC which are like CASH! Every other loyalty program I belong to you need to register online and need a password to access your account!

That is just stupid of the person to do. I mean I don't shop at SDM much (I only have just over 1500 points but did that phone prescription thing to gain 2500 points so almost tripled up here!) so I know it takes a LONG time to amass over 300,000 points and that also means someone has spent alot of money there, unless they traded for some as well, I can't say for sure.

Bottom line is, this is despicable but am not sure how a court of law would handle this one. They are points, not merchandise... it would be interesting to say for sure.

Bottom line is, like others have said, if Shoppers won't protect you, then protect yourself and get a card as a backup to transfer to! I think I accidently opened a new account tonight so I think I am getting another card in the mail. I might do that myself!

I hope the person gets their points back. Bottom line, this is despicable.... but Shoppers makes it so easy to do.

So, is there not going to be an update? I would like to know if the person got their points back.

me four and why is this thread expired ??

[Jeniana]

Well, I guess I should just quit asking, but here goes one last time - is there really not going to be an update to this? I would really like to know if the person got their points back. Why even make a thread about this if there was no intention of letting us know how or if it was resolved?

I think the point was to tell the person who stole them what was happening, not for the rest of us, but as of the point it was expired, the person did not get them back from the stealer

I guess, but surely they knew a whole lot of other people would read the thread and want to know how we could help that person. I wonder why it was expired with the points still stolen - why not leave it up, and let us know how to donate points? Or leave it up as a warning about how easy it is to steal someone's points if they know your Optimum number?

I hope the person was caught and the victim got their points back, but I don't know why no one ever updated the thread to show what happened.

[Eva-M]

What was the outcome of this one?

[tjthemanto]

Was the person ever caught ?

wow! How come I never knew about this first theft a way back when? My gosh SDM has had plenty of time to fix that unsecure Optimum sign in by now.
