I just paid off my card 3 months ago but kept it open in case of emergency.  Well on June 28, 2010 I had that exact same charge with that exact same number attached to it.  I really thought I had just forgotten about some reacurring payment but now I can see that we all just got dooped (did I spell that right?).  As a soldier currently deployed overseas, I too worry about what my money just helped fund.  I am going to have my bank do an investigation and I am also going to report this to the police in Phoenix.  Our money could be being used to buy weapons that are going to kill people.  Next time you hear about a bomb going off in a public place, a shooting where someone was killed, just think about the fact that that bomb or gun could have been bought with your money.  If you call this company do not give them any information.  Do not give them anymore tools with which they can steal your identity and further whatever criminal activity they are involved in.  Treat this like its part of the war we are fighting over here.  This company could very well be our enemy trying to hurt us.  DO NOT let them get away with this.  Keep bothering your bank about it, call the local police, contact the newspapers and news casts, inform the FBI, CIA, and NSA.  If we let them get away with this then they will think it is easy and keep trying it.  We're Americans!  Lets put a boot in their rearends (it is the American way!).

I had the same thing happen on the 26 of june. I found out on the 28th of june and so I called and got through right away and the lady said it would be put back in the account in 7-10 business days. I called 13 days later and got through right away again and she said another 3-5 so I called again 8 days later and they still say sorry another 7-10 days so I called my bank and cancelled my card and am going to fill out a form from the bank and my bank said that they will reimburse me

Thanks, glad I found this site.

Reported a single transaction of $39.87 on 4 July to Santander in the UK today, they cancelled my card and are sending me the forms to report the fraud

happened to me too
i called the 888 number and some chinese lady with an accent picked up and asking for my first and last name
i gave her the info and asked what store/company they represent, and she said they have multiple products so I have to specify what it is. so I told her I was asking her what it was so she should tell me. She said whatever it is has been canceled and it wont be charged anymore and stuff

anyways so i found this website and i became pretty confident that this was fraud. I called Bank of America, and they closed my checking card and would start the investigations.

damm...who da hell are they and where da hell did they get my card info?

Well, they got me as well.  How in the HECK are they doing this and is this some foreign organization?

I also received an unauthorized charge on my credit card for $38.99.  When I called the number, they told me they were the cancellation department for Online Membership Services.  When I asked them who charged my account, they only answered that they would take my name, phone number, email address and forward the cancellation to the company that charged me.  They would not tell me the name of the company.  I refused to give them my information and I told them Im filing complaints with the BBB and the FTC for the unauthorized transactions.

Called my bank and cancelled the card.  The charge was credited.

I never got a call from this company, but..
I also had my visa card charged for 39.87 us dollars.
I have used my card to pay for memberships and goods, but I cannot acknowledge this transaction. never "bought" anything for this amount of money. Called my bank. They've cancelled my card and are issuing a new one. And inquieries are being made.
I just wonder how these criminals got hold of my account info.
Will never use my credit card on the net anymore as long as it's this easy to steal my info!

OK Everyone, I have more information on this outfit.

Actually, they do have account information on file.  Only gave my first and last name, which I was surprised they seem to have on their record.  Was still suspicious, so I asked what other information they had on me.  When they said email, I asked what was the email information they had, and it was 1 email address I almost never use, except a few months ago, for a trial on a porn site, which I had cancelled.  I was billed 2 months later after the cancellation.  Some how, their database got hacked or their billing system screwed up big time.

Around July 8, my bank account was also erroneously charged $39.87 by the company that was only identified on my bill as OnlinePymt @ 8884020881. I called RBC Bank USA to ask what the charge was and they couldn't tell me, it just had a phone number listed. They suggested I call the company.

When I called the company the person on the other end of the line did not identify himself, but he sounded like he was in some sort of call center in India. He said he was from Online Membership Services. Like everyone's other stories, they couldn't tell me what the alleged 'membership' was for and claimed that they gave me some double talk how they didn't even know what company had charged me.

They claimed they were not part of that company but simply a phone number my bank gives to help give me a refund. That is a lie, since the bank would have referred to me to someone within the bank system to give me a refund. Plus, they are more than likely the company that somehow got my information anyways.  I told them what they had done was fraud and repeatedly demanded a refund during the car. They claimed to only deal with cancellations but that they would ensure that I would get a refund. They person claimed that I would have to talk to my bank to find out how many days it would take to clear.

I called back my bank, and they recommended I cancel  my card, which I did. They also said they were using all the information I gave them (including mentioning this website with everyone having similar claims to myself) to prepare an affidavit. They said I would have to sign it and get it notarized by my bank here, and send it back to them. I had to do this once before when I lost my old check card. They said it might take 3-5 business days for a refund to reappear in my account, but even after cancelling my card, the company would still be able to refund me.

So today, I receive my new card and a letter from my bank. Not an affidavit form.  Even though I told them that I already asked for a refund, the RBC's card services department said in the letter that they had asked for a refund on behalf. They said they had opened up an investigation but that I would have to wait 30 days to see if I was refunded the money. I have no confidence that I will actually be refunded this money. Anyways, they said only after I waited the 30 days would they re-initiate my claim.

This is frustrating. The only thing that I have bought in the last 2 months online is a Dust-off Lap Pad from online office supply company. They apparently have a secure site, but it's not a major online retailer and the erroneous charge appeared on the same day, I'm wondering if somehow my information was phished or hacked from that website. As for any 'memberships'. the only one I bought in the last 2 months was back at the start of June, for Yousendit, which is company I have never had any problems with and it's for sending files files to friends or family.

I got my statement today, I called the number, they said they could not tell me what I purchased or who from to get that billing.

So I just called my credit card company to do a dispute. Honestly, these people, whomever they are, are going to get kicked out by VISA/MC soon with all these disputes.

Don't give them any of your personal information to try to get a refund, that could be part of the scam, just go through your bank/cc provider.

To get to the bottom of this, everyone should mention what charges they had before they got this charge, so we can determine the common factor. If everyone has one single similar charge we know which company did it (or which company got their card database compromised and the cards are now being abused by fraudsters).

On July 6th an electronic purchase for $38.99 showed up on my online bank statement. It had this phone number (888-402-0881) in the tag line and when I called it I was told by 'Jennifer' that it was for an online membership service and that she would cancel the order and the charges would be refunded to my account in 10 to 15 business days. On July 8th a second charge of $38.99 showed up on my account from the same number and when I called again I spoke to 'Melinda Mendez' and also to 'Jennifer' and was told that the duplicate charge was a computer accounting error and both charges would be refunded in 10 to 15 business days.
I went to my bank and reported this and they issued me a new card but because the online membership service that made the charges provided a phone number and their representatives had promised a refund I was obligated to wait the 10 to 15 business days before filing a claim. On July 26th I files a claim with my bank and they are covering the charges made to my account and investigating the matter.

Thanks for this info Randy. I went to the Arizona Attorney General's office website two weeks ago to file a complaint but they wanted a web address for the company which I did not have. When the charge first showed up as pending on my account  back on July 1st it didn't have a phone number but there was a link to this company. I called my bank and they removed the hold that was placed on the $38.99 but after the charges went through on July 6th there was no more internet link, just the phone number. I recommend that we all take a few minutes and file a complaint with AZ Attorney General and put this outfit out of business.

I was informed it came threw a porn site on my phone. Or if I ever used my cc on a site thats were they got my info.

I've had the same problem. I filed a dispute with my bank. I will hunt them down, I've found places before and sent them letters with the fed laws, and I've faxed them. Then they stopped. So, I will continue to look up info until I find them. You can even do a location finder via their phone number and get their coordinates. I will do that later.

FYI-they are listed on the bbb.org file a complaint asap

I called and got through immediately.  The lady asked for my name and then told me she couldn't find me in the data base.  She then asked for my e-mail and zip code which I thought was strange because she had nver asked for my credit card number.  I told her that since I beleived the charge to be fraudulent then I wouldn't give her anything but the last 4 digits of my card.  She took those and said she still couldn't find me in the data base.

I think this is some type of organized credit card rip-off.  Don't give them any information.
