Online license card purchase (warning)

[Fiskadoro]

This may be nothing, or just a coincidence but since I usually do not use my card to buy things online I figured I'd pass this on.

Bought my license online a few weeks ago at the DFG website and got it a few days later. Cool... done deal right.

Well today I got a call from my bank because they detected someone using my card info online at Amazon.com and at a Hotel in a suspicious manner.

They blocked the transactions and are issuing me a new card.


Just curious but anyone else get a call from your bank after buying a license online. Let's just say I'm a little suspicious that someone got my info from the DFG.

cash is king. support your local tackle shop. even if they dont make any money off of the licence, you might buy something else. Plus how do we know if your credit card company supports MLPA actions (seems like lots of companys are involved). Just my opinion.

unfortunately ever since the new format for licensing most local shops dont issue licenses anymore anyway. Machine and training isnt worth the money from the little return from what i understand.


In regards to your issue, i purchased mine online before going out on dana wharf 2 fridays ago and received it within a week. No problems with random, suspicious purchases yet. Unfortunately my mom threw the envelope away that it was in so i am again without a license....gonna try gettin online with an agent and telling them it never arrived and getting a new one issued.

Most shops have a DFG computer terminal now, it uploads your info and prints out the license on mylar paper.

I bought mine at charkbait. Squidco has one too.

right on. glad to hear they fixed that because it was kind of ridiculous how few options their were prior. I still think the only places around DP is DW and Big5...pretty sure hogans and jig stop are still out of the loop.

hey jim, perhaps you have trojan virus or something. you should run a scan on your computer with a good virus scan if you had not done so already.
