Nothing but algae, dried green algae.
But I have another warning for any e-bay user. I have been ordering orchids on e-bay for like 4 years and now a problem has occured. My major credit card has been hacked with bogus charges and it most likely stems from vendors through e-bay. My proof? I have 2 credit cards through Chase Bank. Only one, the compromised one, has a problem. I guess you could call it my primary card. I use it at a local gas station, Kroger's, E-bay and not much else.
Suddenly about 8 months ago, a charge of $221 appeared. Naturally I had the card cancelled. Things were good for a couple of months. Then the new card, I was using it the same way, was compromised with a couple of fraudulent charges, under $100 each, but charges that I did NOT make. Included were a couple of $1 and $2 charges. Chase called them "trial balloons". Charges made to see if I noticed. Well that card was cancelled as well.
To bring this up to date, I got a fraudulent charge message from Chase at 4 in the morning Sunday. Again, a $28.58 charge that I did not make. While talking on the phone with the Chase fraud division, I discovered another charge from a few days ago, made and refunded. Then 2 more charges that were not mine. So I clicked within the Chase message that I did not recognize those charges. They immediately cancelled that card! Heck, now this is getting crazy!!! Well wouldn't you know it, by the time I got up and phoned Chase at 6;30am, Sunday morning, the brand new card, issued two hours ago, had a fraudulent charge on it. I assumed incorrectly that every new card would stop these charges from continuing but that is not the case.
So with the assistance and suggestion from Chase, he scrubbed my "digital wallet", whatever that is as I am not tech savvy. There were 23 items on my digital wallet and that was the likely source of my fraudulent problems. I was advised not to use E-bay for a while and see if these charges stop. Man, I hope so. Fortunately nothing major was there but one of the last ones were for "sewing supplies"!!!! Really??? I am 76 years old, I couldn't tell you which end of a sewing machine is which, let alone sew anything! No more E-bay for me. That was the original card, three replacements inside of 8 months. Much to much and one was compromised within two hours!!!!
Everyone should beware. Check your credit cards all the time.
Who were the vendors? I don't remember, it was 4 in the morning but two that rang a bell, E-Bay and Etsy. I know that I have never ordered anything through Etsy.
