Order placed on Friday on Puretime website and payment done with my Mastercard. The payment process went smoothly and I verified with my bank account balance were I can see that the payment was successful. I got also the email confirmation so... everything was fine. Until Monday morning when I get a phone call from the bank and they told me that a transaction of 3500 EUR is attempted. I was shocked, but because of this thread I was aware of this. So..card blocked and I'm waiting for a new card.
i know that is not the Puretime fault but we all should be aware that using this type of payment with our daily use cards is not safe. Lesson learned for me and next time either transfer either Bitcoin.
