BEWARE - Visa blocked my debit card after I tried to book with this company

I only used this site as I was redirected from Skyscanner which I have used before and know to be reputable. Unfortunately the same cannot be said for Travelup; and it was only when encountering booking problems did I do some research and realise the company had such poor feedback. Lesson learnt. More worryingly, when trying to pay for a booking my Visa debit card was declined and when I rang the bank to find out why, they explained Visa had flagged my card details as being 'compromised' and had blocked the card. I had used the card all day with no problems - Visa only blocked it when I entered the details into the Travelup website. I now have to order a replacement card and in the meantime I have no debit card. Full marks to Visa but if they are so concerned about this site why is it still allowed to operate? Please BEWARE and I would urge you to book elsewhere and NOT provide them with any card details.
