Woah woah woah, this reads as a major scam...

> If you have an American Express or Discover card you can enter your online credentials we'll load your charge names directly to check them for fraud. Your credentials are transmitted securely and then cleared after querying. No personal information will be collected. Your card will never be charged.

Never ever ever ever do this. This is a terrible idea and if this is a legit site, they should never offer this as an option


Absolutely a scam; I've put in username 'a' and password 'b' and their page is continuously going through steps about pulling transactions from my account, checking them for fraud, etc. Maybe on step 6 now?

What's interesting here is that this is an actually pretty good idea for a startup that I'm sure many financial wellness apps or banks/credit unions might pay to hook into. I wonder if this is a legitimate site that's been hijacked?


This is 100% a scam site, please flag

I put in test/test as the creds and it claimed to query and start collecting the data

> Please wait while your report is being generated... > Parsing account information > Querying for transaction information > Parsing transaction information > Loading charge batch

Then I gave up waiting as my tracking blocking went crazy.
