Thanks...they are gone.

I received an email this morning from 'enews@emails.wiggle.com' stating that Wiggle received my request to download my order history and a giant button to "download now". Seems Phishy to me.

Even more fun, an email from 'emails@e.chainreactioncycles.com' for my Chain Reaction order history...

I got the same emails from both.

Received my second reminder from Wiggle/messanger this morning with a set of links to down load my purchase history. I have not used the links but did go to my Wiggle account and copy my purchase history a few days ago. Wiggle or the messenger claims all purchase history will be lost due to computer system upgrades.

Seems like a good way to lose track of who your long time, good customers are!

Received as well. While the "received your request to download" part seems phishy since I didn't make that request, all the headers look to legitimately originate from the wiggle.com domain. Just my $0.02.

Found this thread interesting and went to the last page to discover that ppl besides myself had been getting the ChainReaction download history request as well. I didnt think much of it but thought it was kind of odd they would erase order history. I do reference history once in awhile but its been some time since I used CRC. So I just logged into my account and there is a window that shows they have changed the site and to make any returns on orders before Apr 26/23 to click the Returns Portal which takes you to a site with Russian text which seems pretty scary.
The whole site for CRC has been redesigned or maybe its a scam site I dont know.

Norbs, Venmo should also back you, much like Paypal would.

Are mods able to see if an account has been hacked?

I purchased an item from a use on 8/9 and haven't heard back. I sent a follow up asking for tracking yesterday, and they've logged in since but haven't responded. Seems fishy.

As I read it, only if the purchase is made from an 'authorized merchant', not a private seller.

Called out here.

If you use Venmo “Goods” payment you have the same buyer protection as PayPal “Goods” — if you don’t trust the person you’re working with, it’s worth the couple % points..
