This showed up on my AT&T Universal Mastercard on this month's statement.  Same "800" number.

It was listed as "Search Management" and the charge was $9.45.

Mastercard said it was a used bookstore and when I explained neither of the card users had made the charge they resolved the disputed charge in my favor on the spot.

It really pays to pay close attention to your credit card bills - this seems to happen to me about once a year.

My daughter had $9.50 taken from her checking account via her debit card. Same bogus recording when i tried to call the number. My bank will refund the money after shutting down the card.

A charge also appeared on my statement for $9.45 from Search management NY.  I called the number and got an answering machine that stated noone was there, leave your name & telephone number and a detailed message and they will call you back.  No call yet!!!!!!  CONTACT BANK AND DISPUTE IT!!

Regarding Search Management of NY.  Call your bank and dispute the charge, give the bank this website and explain how to use it if you have to. Then call your local TV station and news agency, I did.  And then tell everyone on your email list about it.  If they can get away with a charge of less than $10, just imagine what can happen next.  And just think of all those people that have not posted a message on this site, that don't check their accounts, all because it is less than $10!!  I cancelled my debit card, and a new one will be here in 4-5 days.  Don't hesitate, ACT!!!  I signed up at donotcall.gov to prevent unwanted phone calls, but the charge on my account was not because of a phone call, it is probably a store I shop at often, whose personal info was compromised, like Hannaford (the latest one).  Where do you shop?

I found a charge on my account in the second week of March for "Search Management" in NY with this phone number. I called the number and left a message to get a call back but none was made. Thanks to this site I understand I've been defrauded and have ordered my bank to block the account and reverse the charge.

Same thing happen to me.  March 15 the charge hit for $9.55 Search Management. - Credit card company is removing the charge.

WATCH OUT!  These guys showed up on my VISA statement as "Search Management".  It's a full-on scam.  I pity those who don't look closely at their credit card itemization.

check you credit card statements!

hey u guys got me 2  you could keep the 950 if u tell me how ur doing it

yep, total SCAM job!  they bill your credit card.  call your bank and dispute the charge.

Just received this same charge on my card dates 4/23.  Haven't used this card so not sure where they got the number.  Number is just a voice mail too.

I got a call from this number it they hung up when I answered

Now it's worse.  There is a charge on my checking account.  I asked where it was from and they gave me the number yes, 8778932497.  I just called my bank. Oh my word, that's all I can say. This is just awful

I didn't even get a call however I noticed a charge from Search Management on my Visa card for $9.55 and this number was listed.  I just googled it and found this Web site.  I have already contacted my bank.  They said that it looked like a phone order yet I don't order anything over the phone...haven't for years.  I called the number a few times and get a machine right away.  I got my money back from my bank and had to cancel my debit card since they obviously have my card number and that is such a hassle...

charge of $9.45 as search management. I just signed up for online bill pay. Did anyone else. I am wondering if this is how they stole my debit card number.

Yea, like EVERYONE else on here I was charged $9.50 on my debit card. I read a few posts that talked about books or bookstores, I was looking for a book online last night. I guess I will DELETE my cookies & internet files & history EVERYDAY through INTERNET OPTIONS. I'm also CLOSING that debit card and filing FRAUD charges so I can get my $9.50 BACK...

Just wanted to let everyone know what to do to report this INTERNET FRAUD. I talked to the FTC, he told me to call my STATE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL, also go to www.IC3.gov  or www.ftc.gov and fill out a complaint form. It was suggested to include COPIES of all of our posts on here. But I would first get your attorney general in you staes phone number and start by calling them.. Here's the Indiana Attorney General # 1-800-382-5516.. I also called my bank to cancel my debit card and will be filing fraud charges with the police...

I received a charge on my debit card for $9.50.  The bank associated it with this number and there was an answering machhine when I called.  I have contacted my bank fraud dept. and will contact my attorney general.
SCAM!

Received a credit card charge for 9.50 with the search management ref.
Placed a call to the 877-893-2497 # listed, got a recording.
Reported it to the C.C. co & they advised to file a dispute.
This is a card I rarely use also.
