Hey
Just wanted to check in and notify / see if anyone else has had issues with their OnePlus 5t purchase from the official Oneplus website?
I recently upgraded my 3t with a white 5t last week, using a credit card that I don't normally use (it's left in the house). Literally a day later, I get a call from my credit card company advising me they have blocked multiple attempted electrical purchases. My mobile phone number was also "reported stolen" at the same time, I assume to try and facilitate the credit card fraud. It appears as though I am not the only one who has experienced this issue, after buying direct off the Oneplus website.
There is a long thread on their 5t Community Forums named "Credit Card Fraud" with multiple folk being defrauded.

Whilst I can not 100% say this is down to Oneplus, the balance of probability is that someone in their employee / contractor chain has potentially stolen customer details.
Just a heads up for those considering a direct purchase.
