877-893-2497

A charge showed up on my Visa card for $9.50, I contacted Visa and they gave me this telephone number as the primary contact.  A hokey, computer generated voice mail answers and asks you leave your name and number and they will get back to you but they never do.  There were no telephone contacts prior to this, the charge just appeared.

A charge appeared on my credit card account in the amount of $9.50 with phone number and the name "Search Management". The credit card company said it was a bookstore in New York. I have been receiveing fictious collection messages lately not sure if same number.

I also have a charge on my Mastercard for 9.50.  I have called several times and they have not called me back.  Don't know what the charge is for.  I am going to dispute the charge with my bank.  If someone knows what this charge is for please post it.

Did you ever find out what the charge is for.  I also have the same problem

I live in Kansas City area and have also had money deducted from my checking account in the amount of $9.45.  My bank suggested I dispute it by going into bank and filling out form so they can retrieve my money.  It's not a large amount by any means but if they already have access to my account, don't wan to incur any further charges!

I live in St. Louis Missouri. I called my bank because I also had a $9.45 charge on my account with the same phone number and a company name of Search Management. My bank stated that the code they use to debit the amount out of my account was a used bookstore. We have not been to a bookstore. I am thinking this is a fraud. I just wonder how many people they have done this to. If anyone has anymore information on this please post it.

This was the contact number on an unauthorized charge to my credit card for $9.55 from "Search Management" in NY state. Found it tonight (3/10) with a charge date of 3/7. Tried calling the number, but just got a funky sounding voicemail box. Already filled out a dispute for with my credit union.

Live in GA.

Will post again if I learn more.

Follow-up: my bank also said it was a used bookstore charging. Definitely not my charge. I think this is a big fraud operation that goes for easy money.

The big question is: where did they get my CC#?!

I got a call from the same number with a 9.45 charge on my debit card.  Call identified as Search Management NY - will be disputing this charge.

No call but a $9.55 charge showed up as Search Management on my Visa checkcard.  The bank gave me the number which I called and got a cheesy voicemail with no company name.  Turned this over to the Bank's fraud unit. My bank suggested cancelling my old card since this is a scam.

I looked at my bank account today (21 March 2008) There was a $9.55 charge on my account. I'm looking into this also; if I find out anything I'll post it here. If anyone else finds out please post it here for the rest of us. I never got a phone call...I just got ripped for $9.55.  Looks like they are adjusting for inflation! That statement would be funny if this were not so serious.

I didn't think I had any calls but looking back on my caller ID I found that number twice: 877.507.2031

We will find out who these people are and they will be taken care of. If enough of us that are being scammed continue to communicate about what we find out then we can bust this open. I'm going to send information to my Senators and other officials. We need to utilize them; afterall that's why they get the big bucks!

OOPs wrong number put down...but it is another 877 number. This is the number that was on my caller ID: 877.507.2031
5:30 pm 3/19
3:54 pm 3/17
It's probably from the same source.

Got a charge on my Visa Debit card for $9.55 today (3/24) from "Search Management" with this phone number as the contact. Same hokey automated voice mail answer as other posters, so I "googled" the number. Called credit union as soon as I saw these posts and had the card cancelled. No idea how they got my account number or if they've called my house - we do get alot of hangups, but don't have Caller ID. Reported as fraud - will post if my bank comes up with any further info.

Same as everyone else, have a 9.45 charge, funky computer voicemail. Googled and found this site.  Disputed with credit card company. Will post any updates. Anyone else get a update?

I got the same charge yesterday on my mastercard.  $9.55 via Search Management, a bookstore in NY.  The post about DirectTV is interesting.  If we are all set up now or have been with DirectTV auto-billing, this may be the source of how they found our cc numbers!  I would really prefer not to cancel and set up another card, etc.

Same charge here $9:55, disputing it.  Same stupid voice message when calling number

$9.50 charge appeared 24 March. Disputed 25 March. Never had DirecTV here so that's not how they got mine. How about toysrus, sears, or intuit? They're the only "oddballs" on my statement. Everybody else I deal with regularly (and no autopay accounts for me).

A $9.45 charge appeared on my March 20, 2008 credit card statement.  I disputed the charge.  This card is seldom used.  Had a legitimate charge to the 'Stockingstore' in the state of NY last month.  This is the first time I bought from them.  Based on the nature of other charges that month (2) and the fact that it had been 6 months since the last charge, I am certain the Stocking Store is guilty of sharing my information.  Perhaps they are the same organization.  The company referenced to the charge was the infamous 'Search Management' book store??? of NY.  This behavior constitutes banking and trade fraud.  Since this involves the banking system and interstate commerce, all incidents should be reported to the governing federal agency.  Don't stop here, spend the time to help your fellow man/woman by reporting these folks.

I just found a debit charge for $9.50 on my account dated March 25 from "Search Mgmt".  I just sent an inquiry to my bank asking where it originated from.  I am awaiting a reply but will file a dispute with the bank which is Capitol One.  Has anyone had this charge reversed after disputing it?
I will be contacting the bank to cancel that card also.
