FRAUD ALERT: SCREEN SAVERSRISE.COM 240-2844437 aka SCREENSAVERSRISE.COM 240-284-4437 is a fake front company. They are part of a large group of fraudulent websites processing hijacked card data into cash. The card data fraud laundering operation is ran by a multi year eastern European organized crime syndicate, operating from Eastern Europe.

The fake sites are set up exclusively to process stolen card data, and launder the charges into cash. The stolen funds are then wired to various banks in Bulgaria, Latvia, Kyrgstan, and Cyprus. Some of the stolen funds have ended up in the Ukraine.

This Russian headquartered organized crime syndicate recruits cyber-mules either through fake job adds, or by targeting online posted resumes at careerbuilder.com, Monster, etc. They masquerade as legitimate software companies from various countries in Europe. The duped cyber-mules are then instructed to set up domestic LLCs / Corps, open a business bank account, and obtain merchant gateway processing services specifically through authorize.net. The crime syndicate manages the associated website and uses the services set up by the cyber-mules to launder hijacked credit cards into cash. Every single charge processed via these sites are from stolen card data. It is estimated that they may process 2 million cards a year, and may have 40 to 50 fraud sites operating at any given time.

If you receive a charge from one of these fraud entities, it is imperative that you report the charge as FRAUDULENT, and cancel and replace the card. They will keep charging it, also, CHECK YOUR PRIOR STATEMENTS for small fraud charges that you may have missed.

I can only confirm this. While checking my account activities yesterday I found a charge to my account which was totally unknow to me. My bank checked into this matter and named 240/284-4437 as merchant. They are now
trying to clearify this matter.

I can only confirm: CHECK YOUR ACCOUNT ACTIVITIES very carefully for small amounts which are unknow to you and report them.

Happened to me as well--I go through my accounts every 2-3 days and today found an odd charge.  Now we're having to dispute it as it already "hard-posted."  Make sure that you then call any monthly autopays you have to those cards as well.

I had a charge for $4.82 on my bank statement when I checked it online at 6 o'clock last Wedesday morning listed as "screensavers." Since I have never bought a screensaver, it got my attention. I went to the website listed and it was a joke, then googled them and found this link in google and sent it to all my email friends to be on the alert. I was at my bank when it opened and closed out my bank account and opened another and have spent the last week notifying everyone who direct-deposits and direct debits my account of what has happened. My bank told me if I hadn't noticed the charge and acted on it as quickly as I did, they could have come back later and cleaned out my bank account.

Our business account has an unauthorized charge of $4.82 from Screen Saversrise.com with the above telephone number.  I am the office manager and only the owner any myself have access to our bank information, therefore I knew it was a fraudulent charge.  I called the number as soon as I saw the charge and I also received a broken voicemail asking for me to leave a message.  I then googled this information and came across this ad.  Very scary if you ask me!!  I immediately called my bank to report this scam and have they canceled my card so additional charges will not be made.  It is very scary to me that someone has the ability to obtain such private information and continue to make identical charges on different account and not be caught.  You would think that banks would automatically be on the look-out for charges like this.  My bank suggested that I file a police report in case these scam artists are apprehended.  They also asked if I would be willing to prosecute and of course I said "YES"!!  If you see charges like this on your account, do NOT ignore because it is a small charge.  Call your bank immediately to have all of your information changed.  These morons must be caught and dealt with accordingly!!

We have also had an unauthorized charge on our business card. When I called the phone # listed on the charge I was prompted to send them an email.(NOT HARDLY) That is when I found out the company is fraudulent. I have notified the card company and canceled the card. Please pass this information on to others. The charges may be small but they are probably just the beginning if you don't catch it!!!

I did not recieve any calls . I have a charge on my debit card that I did not authorize from screen saversrise .

I saw the charge and my bank said I had to call screen savers , they were polite and said the charge would be removed . Two weeks later they charged me again . My bank would do nothing .. so I had them issue me a new debit card...six months later I recieved another charge right after making a small purchase from an online store in New Jersey . I canceled the card . I filed a complaint with the FBI site mentioned above..it was kinda lose info but hope it helps stop these creeps .

ScreenSaversRise.com put through a $1.82 charge on my husband's debit card, listing this phone # as identification. After reading the posts on this site, I closed both his card and mine. I also disputed the charge - it's only $1.82, but it's still fraud. The officer at my bank said it was good that I'd come right in, because crooks sometimes start with a small charge to verify the card; after it goes through, they send in a bunch of big ones. I filed a report with the FBI site you provided. Thanks for your help, everyone.

I had the same problem as previous posters.  I found a charge for $4.82 on my account, called the number and got a sketchy sounding voicemail, then had to call and cancel my check card.  I am currently going through the dispute process at the bank to get the money back.

same thing.  $4.82 on my account.  canceled and started a new one

Did not receive call.  Charge for $4.82 to our business account ( as recurring) so card info stolen possibly when card used to purchase a cell phone, as both charges authorized at same time.  Called bank immediately, canceled card.  Will take time to get credit and hopefully this will end it.  Called this number and got message unable to understand.  Thanks to others for valuable

Experienced same charge as many others. $4.82 charged to my debit card. Have no idea how they got my card # but they did. Had been in Vegas less than 1 week prior to the charge so that may be the source. Cancelled the card and immediately signed up with Lifelock. My bank was initially not helpful telling me they would charge me $10 for a new card. I got a liitle angry and was told there would not be a charge after all. I am disputing the charge and will get the money back. Be careful and watch your accounts closely. Hopefully Lifelock will stop this kind of crap.

Unauthorized charge on my VISA card.  Small amount, $4.82.  Unfortunately it will cost more than that to dispute the charge and get reimbursed.  Have no idea how they got my number.  Petty crap like this verifies why I have a specific account that I use online, low balances and low credit limit on the card so if worse came to worse, at least they wouldn't wipe me out completely.

I also just notice a $1.82 charge on my credit cord from "screensaversrise.com", whom I have never heard of or dealt with. I called my bank, had them cancel the card and refund the charge. They also said that quite frequently these small initial charges are a test charge; if it goes through, they come back later and charge a huge amount to your account. No call, just a charge to CC.

Just got hit with this ScreenSaversRise charge on my VISA debit card for $4.82.  Canceled my debit card.  Thanks to this site.

just found the  charge on my wifes card never buying online adnt get again. didnt get a call just a charge.

I just found a charge from my debit card and reported it to the bank.  They disabled the card and are sending a new one.  No phone call, just the debit from my account.

Same here.

no call just the bogus charge to my debit card.
