Happy to hear that Bob...so do you think I could call from italy this company in order to get refunded?
Do you actually know if the phone call is free or payment?

Bob don't listen to them. You may have got one guy that seemed helpful but he's lying. I called several times and each time they told me a differnt company name and promised a refund despite not being able to tell me what I bought. The last time I called hey said they couldn't refund me and asked for my phone number. Don't give them any additional info. Report it to your bank as fraud and explain the situation an refer them to this site. My bank refunded me within 20 minutes. Also report this to police so that we can catch these guys and I'd also recommend cancelling your old card. Q business can't exis without q name and it's impossible for them not to have a record of what you are charged for. They stole credit card numbers and formed a false business to steal money. It reeks of a scam

I received 2 charges of $38.99 and $39.87 on 3rd July. Called bank immediately and they knew what I was calling about before I had even told them.  Cancelled card and a claims form is being sent to me, which I must fill in for them to refund the money.  I'm in UK, looks like this is a worldwide scam.  Anybody who sees this on their statement should not phone the number, but contact their back immediately.  If you are in the USA, please also contact the police.

well looks like i've been hit to, filling a fraud against them as I type, again no idea what the charge is for, i've bought some downloadable software off flip for mac and signed up to hustler (yeah, I admit it, a porn site), but cancelled a day after signing. checked all my receipts for all and any online dealing over the past 3 months and like the rest of you drew a blank.cancelled all my cards, just in case. i'll update you on the out come.

I recieved this charge on the 7th of July, just noticed and called Bank of America today and they are going to give my money back and open a dispute/investigation (standard procedure)

however, I am wondering if any of you guys have had any problems with Spyware or Adware on your computers lately? I make online purchases a few times a month but have NEVER had a problem... around the beginning of July I started getting some pretty bad Spyware and Adware on my computer that I still seem to be having trouble completely getting rid of.

Wondering if that spyware somehow got my information off my computer the next time I used my card?

SPYWARE???????!!!!!!!!!! I hate you

PS. this isnt the same "Bob" that posted a bit above me... This is a totally unrelated 'fake name' Bob.

And just to fill in a bit more information... the charge was for $39.87 to somewhere in Arizona

(and I still think it was from Spyware)

After being out of the country for three weeks I came home to check my bank account and found this erroneous charge for $38.99 and called the bank to file a claim. I didn't even bother trying to call the company to find out who they were after finding all these similar incidents, thank you for sharing and helping others.

I spoked to HSBC credit card today and they told me that the company that comes up for that transaction deals in recreational sales/activities, such as swimming pools and golf.

DON'T call the company phone number; call your credit card company and they will investigate for you. It's their job.

Do all of you use Netflix if so, that is where the CC information was stolen from?  The only internet purchace that I have made in months is my reoccuring Netflix charge.

I just noticed these same charges today, called my bank (Montgomery Bank) and talked with Britney in Customer Service, advised her of the fraud and the information that I have found on here.  Britney was useless and insisted that I had to call this company before she could do anything.  I am NOT going to call this company and give them anymore information than they already have.  I guess that I will be looking for a new bank.

I have filed complaints with the FTC and the FBI.

Dito! They hit me three times. All on the same day. 7/03/10. I went to my bank and canceled my card. My bank advised me to file a police report, saying that it would help with prosocuition should they find the person or persons responsible for the bogus charges.

Hey guys, I just wanted to say thanks for posting your information and how you dealt with it. I had the same thing happen to me, $38.99 charge on 7-6-2010, and just found out in my bank statement today. I bank at Westcoast Bank, and had to fill out a claims report, they are unsure if I will even get my money back. The only online transactions I have made in the past few months have been a couple purchases on Amazon.com. Amazon is super secure, so I have no idea how they got my info.
Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks again. It is really helpful to be able to type in a number and be presented with so much information. It's a [***] and frustrating situation for all of us, but at least we can help each other to some degree.

Never used Netflix before.
Only recent purchases I had were ebay through Paypal.

Same thing happened to me even though I had not purchased anything in the past 2 weeks (before the charge occurred on the first of July). Same phone number, 3 charges, same charge amount, yada yada yada.
I called my bank and filed a claim, and faxed them a letter. The next day I had 2 of the charges refunded. Afraid that the bank wasn't going to do anything about the third, I called again and apparently those refunds were from the 'merchant.' Thought that was strange, because they supposedly didn't start the investigation yet since I had to fax them another letter with some missing information a couple days ago.

Same $38.99 charge happened to me while on vacation. Bank initially denied my claim, stating that they didn't have enough info. So I called the "company" and got the same refund assurance that others have received (which I don't believe for a second). Gave them my name but no other info. Immediately called Wells Fargo to reopen the dispute and cancel my card and the woman said quite a few others had done the same thing regarding this "charge" (which begs the question why I was initially denied, but whatever). I would agree with others to just go thru your bank, calling the number will get you no info and actually makes me feel sketchier.

I just discovered the same charge ONLINE PYMT 88840208 38.97 USD from 07 july on my Visa electron and I am from Denmark so this is a worldwide theft.

Have used my card many times for gambling and porn but this is not any charge I know of.

I guess many people dont react to this small theft and they make a lot of money with stolen CC info.

I have cancelled card and will file a dispute with my bank.

This past week I was doing my bills onlineand I noticed that my one credit card balance went up $39.87, so I called mybank. They said it was an online purchase, which I replied," No it wasn't!" I toldthemI haven't used this card since May and that was it and no one else has access to it. They dialed the number and a woman answered, I asked her name and it was Nicole Davis she told me. I pressed her for more information and asked who and what was this company and charge for, she said the company was Recreation Services, but wouldn't give me more info. I asked her who they were , at first she said she didn'tknow, then I pushed more and she  said she was not allowed to give out that information by her boss's orders. I told her I never purchased anything from this company and this was done illegally and was fraud, she then said she was crediting my account and cancelling my order...whatever that was. I was by now to say the least pissed off and I told her to tell her boss that I was the wrong person to play this game and that my profession use to be hunting down people like this and taking care of business as I needed to! This is in fact the truth as to what I use to do! I am making calls to long time associates around the country to check further into this and who they are and will proceed to end their fraud and theft games.In the mean time my bank has started to investigate this and will take actions against them, but I still want to know how they got my credit card number or who sold it to them or if they stole it some way! I will keep you all up to date on what I find out, I have many friends in high places who owe me many favors and they will be get a call asking for some returns on those favors. I don't play games and I'm not the kind of person you want to play games with and I will take care of what I need to and paybacks are a [***]!

Great way to react gypsy!!!!!
I'll wait for any further news about these leeches!!!

Mike

They are still at it.  Just checked my credit card bill and this unauthorized charge for $38.99 on 07/01/2010 is listed there with Online Services and this telephone number.  Got to a live person, said he would cancel membership but I had to get him to say that my card will be refunded.  I am calling my credit union to reissue a new card for me.
