877-417-4551

This number charged me $53.23 on my credit card and I don't know why or how it got my card number.

This number charged my credit card $33 and I didn't recognize it at first. It is for a credit card processor that goes by the brand name Square Up. Merchants can run credit card transactions through their iPhone or iPads using the Square Up services. Mine was for a taxi ride.

I also didn't recognize the number but it was for an art show purchase----the vendor was using SquareUp.  The charge was completely legitimate.

This number keeps calling my cell phone and is taking money out of my bank acct. please somebody stop this company.

Thanks! Now, I remember.

Thanks this was the case for me to but I did not remember.

Road, Joey and Boston Guy may be shills for this scam.

I was just bugging my bank about a small transaction from a merchant with this number, and I just remembered that it is actually legitimate.  It was from a mobile credit payment system when I got a BBQ sandwich at a music festival.  Just some mom and pop BBQ stand under a tent, and they must have been using "SquareUp" for their payments.  It looked like a giant walkie-talkie that could swipe credit cards.

I found this thread because I was trying to figure out where a mysterious purchase on my debit card came from, but it was from a legitimate place... I bought a sandwich from a food cart. The guy had one of those plug-ins for the iPhone that he swiped the card through and processed it that way. It seemed to take longer than my debit card transactions usually do to post, so I had totally forgotten about it.

Same situation here - I was perusing my Visa statement, and thought that this was a scam of some sort as the name of the company that showed up didn't return any results.  I kept thinking about it though, and the "company" was actually an art vendor at a local farmer's market where I bought my wife a necklace.  The vendor had a small attachment on her iPhone to swipe credit cards, so it turns out my charge was totally legit - though odd looking on my statement.

Same thing here..thanks for posting this so I didn't call my CC company and make a stink..Once i saw you guys discuss it dawned on me what my charge was for...a Hot Air Balloon ride...DUH...

This # charged my debit card $355!!!  not happy.

At first I was concerned about this charge but after reading posts from several people, I remembered buying food from a vendor at the Patriot Ride on 6-18-11 - it was a National Guard member that was using their iphone to accept check/debit cards so people who did not have cash could purchase food.  It was definitely a legitimate charge and there were no additional fees.

This seems to be a taxi ride I took from known as Air Express Cab.  They are a great company.

For mine it was a legitimate charge from a taxi company whos driver used the iphone to charge me.

Cheers

Mine was completely legitamate too, although it took reading these posts to remember what it was for...My hairdresser scanned my card on her iphone...SO glad I saw this post, I was about to go postal!

Mine was for a taxi ride.  He also ran it through his I Phone.

Same thing happened to me.  My wife thought I was downloading porn or something.  Turns out it was a comic book convention we went to in Albuquerque.  I remembered the charge as soon as I saw the name of the company in this post.  I'm a nerd so I googled this as soon as I got the emailed receipt from the show.  Very cool little gadget.  Cost per swipe seems a little high though at 2.75% per swipe.

I didn't recognize this name for the charge on my credit card as IMARKETING. out of CA.  I was looking at the date and then realized that I was in Gatlinburg, TN on vacation at the time of the charge.  So I am racking my brain trying to figure out what this company is.  And I thinking, what did I charge for $120.00.  Then it dawned on me that it was for the mountain ZIPLINE ride at $60.00 a pop for my two kids.  (They said it was great, by the way.)  It is supposedly the longest in the world.  Took 2 hours. But, nowhere did I see this name IMARKETING.  The man that charged my card used his radio/phone and attached a piece to it to where he can slide a charge card, so I never saw this other name.  But, this company has outlets all over the resort areas.   So, my mind is at ease now.  Unless I see more charges later b/c I have been home from vacation for 2 weeks. :-)

similar story as many above. saw mysterious charge on my credit card, freaked out - it was a BIG charge to someone I didn't know. search for name and phone# turned up nothing but this site. realized it was a purchase I made at a silent auction. they used iPads to check people out with this software. legit charge.
