UPDATE: i have been hacked too, it's definitive. the whole drama described above was actually my ccard company really trying to contact me. they blocked my card - in other words, it's gone, fucked, deleted, finished - because their systems noticed an uncanny transaction (the one at 3am). and since their servers haven't been at fault... IT'S ONE OF YOU GUYS, ONE OF THE 4 BIG 3D SHOPS: RENDO, DAZ, RDNA OR CP, WHO FUCKED UP WITH SECURITY. because i only use this card for 3d schtuff, and i did purchase in all 4 between september and now. according to my banker, my private info was probably not involved, e.g. name, mail etc, since the warning sms/mail came from the bank. luckily (tho' not guaranteed). but ofc, the thieves had my ccard number. luck in unluck, card was empty, so they couldn't steal/buy nada, and trying to was maybe what ticked the bank server security.

anyways, i lost a card that costed me 40$ and was still valid a while :((( if i want to order anything anywhere soon, i'll have to purchase another ccard first. maybe those thieves actually saved me money, hahaha, because right now, I DON'T FEEL AT ALL LIKE SPENDING ANY MONEY ON BUYING A NEW CARD OR SHOPPING AT ANY 3D SITE, SINCE I DUNNO WHOM I CAN TRUST. and even if i wanted to shop, the price of a new card would obliterate my budget for 1-2 months. fuck, way to go just end of the year when there are nice bargains.... :(((

IN THE END, MERITOCRACY HAS NOT ONLY PERMEATED OUR DAILY LIVES AND WORK, BUT ALSO OUR HEARTS, OUR MINDS AND OUR PERCEPTION OF ART...
