    Just wanted to give a heads up to those who might be using groupon.

    Several folks are getting their groupon account hacked and fraudulent charges are showing up on their groupon accounts. This has been going on for a while.

    1) Do not use groupon. This has been going for a while and they are terrible at handling it (not just the initial hack but resolving the issue as well). Just google it.

    2) Do not store your payment information on any site.

    3) Check your credit card account activity online every few days.

    0) Get a decent credit card. Go online. Push a button. Get the charges canceled in 30 seconds.
