My response was rude, yes. However, his malicious and unfounded accusation that I am a thief was also rude. Yes my material possessions have nothing to do with the situation. I was trying to point out that I am in zero financial need to be a thief. I could easily retire whenever I wanted and never want for anything again. But, I enjoy doing business, so I carry on. And furthermore, it was a terrible attempt at scamming people. Sure buddy, the abc boys contracted you to do what you claim, yet, you have a tenuous grasp on the English language. I’m not trying to downplay the situation whatsoever or make it seem light hearted. Giving my shipping agent customers emails in retrospect was a bad idea. But he asked for them because his shipping system had a box that also said: Email when he input information. At the time before I knew his true character it didn’t seem like a unreasonable request. Moving forward I will never give a shipping agent something they can use to contact a customer. Last week I paid a website penetration company to check all of my severs and website for security flaws. They found nothing that could be used to breech our databases that a hacker could exploit. My website is secure. My initial response to the situation was that it could have only been committed by an ex employee. Which my old manager was ruled out due to several reasons. Which left only my shipping agent, which I have definitively come to the conclusion it was him. To everyone who received the email or felt at risk because of the situation I sincerely and genuinely apologize. I have taken measures to prevent something like this from ever happening again by not giving out contact information to my shipping agents. I fully take responsibility for the situation and humbly apologize for it. I appreciate everyone’s continued support and understanding.
