[GCARC] Groupon Hacked my Credit Card

[Randy]

WOW
What a bummer.
Hopefully Chase will be able to fix the situation and you won’t be charged.
I’ve ordered over 2 dozen things from Groupon, including the Windows deal, and had no problems.
A friend of mine also ordered the Windows deal without issue.
Please update us if they are able to determine who did it.
Were you able to get a serial number for Windows 11?
My friend and I both did, and he already used his on a computer.
