888-621-6045

Got the same $429 ID SAFE Reno Nevada 1-888-261-6045 on 2.12.08.  Regarding common threads: no paypal activity here, nor geeks.com...but I do live in NYC...can anyone else think of any other common threads?

i also got 2 charges of $429.00 on my new credit card bill, used paypal on line also. the # was to id safe 888-621-6045. the dates were 2/06  + 2/16
very nice !!!!!! thanks for the heads up !!!!!

Didn't get a call.. but got hit twice for $465 from Identity Protect using same 888# & the NV location... My account has nothing to do with Paypal.

My Visa bill had the same charge on Valentine's Day: ID SAFE 888-6216045 NV $429.00
Will report it tomorrow to CC company

I got nailed with these miserable people too.  429 bucks.  I was trying to find something in my
statement that happened right before they showed up.  I bought these heatable pillows at christmas
from one of those kiosks in a mall.  Anyone else here?  In retropspect, it seems supspicious.  The sales
people were all foreign.....not trying to be racist here, just poking around.

Found one charge on my master card, called ID safe, they said they'd refund it, instead they charged me again.  Called again saidthey'd refund both, thatwas 10 days ago, I cancelled my card the same day as the second call, I am awaiting documentation from the fraud division at CitiBank

The Capitol One Fraud department restricted my card two weeks after the same ID Safe charge appeared for $429. They didn't tell me this is a well-known scam.  But it must have been because of this charge.

I received the same $429 charge. Sale date 1-28 posted 1-29 Looking for common threads: I live in Seattle East Side, it's my company card, I traveled to NYC in December, I buy electronics on line for company use and may have used geeks.com.  I use Amazon a lot and they often push the order to other suppliers.  Disputed charge, investigation open, B of A not willing to reveal any details.

five charges of 429 on account.  called number and it is disconnected.  Quixtar Visa that is used rarely, used recently to purchase online.  Visa company closed account and reported fraud.

Me too... two charges 2/7 and 2/9 429 each. Cancelled cards and telling everyone I know.
Anyone check their credit report recently?

I got three fraudulent charges from ID safe:  one on 2/8 and two on 2/16.  Regarding common threads:  it's a company card.  No paypal or geeks.com usage.  Not in NYC.  I did buy something from shipstore.com recently, which I had to put into dispute b/c they never delivered.  They're in Westport, NY. Other recent purchases: Wufoo, fatcow, usps, infinity box, fedex.com

Also reporting fraudulent charges: 2 from ID Safe and now one from Identity Protect.  Each time, disputed with the CC company on the day the charge shows up.

For the first charge, called the number & talked to someone, who said the charge would be reversed inside 4 business days.  It was not.  Phone has been engaged since.

Anticipating another charge in a month...

usage: all over the place.  If this continues, will cancel and begin using one-use numbers.

Got the $429.00 charge, called credit card company.  They new about it and cancelled the card within 30 seconds.

I got the charge on 3/7 at 12pm. My bank refunded my money in 5 days and I placed a hold on the account.  Today, I received a packet in the mail telling me about their "services".  A 60 minute consultation with a "counselor".  I don't use pay pal at all but I pay my bills online and I made 1 purchase online on 2/8.  I honestly think if this had anything to do with that purchase, they wouldn't have waited a month.  Possibly online bill pay?  Anyone else?

They have charged my card three times.  I have gotten my two credits from my CC company.  Now they are going by the name Identity Protect.  I'm calling the FBI. Why should I have to spend $.41 each month to dispute this fraud?

A follow up to an earlier post.  I had the $429 ID Safe charge in January.  Chase bank credited my account at the time and advised me to keep watch to see if this would be a recurring event.  Sure enough, on 3/10 I got another $429 charge, this time from a company called Identity Protection.  No phone number was listed this time.  Chase cancelled my account and credited the disputed charge.  Perhaps just a coincident, but like an earlier poster, I also have done buisness with a company called shipstore.com.  Similarly, I never received the merchandise and had to work to get a credit.  But that was over a year ago.  I got the feeling they were more screwed up than fraudulent.

Follow up to Feb 15 post -

I also tried to purchase something from SHIPSTORE.COM.  Item was never shipped so on January (after waiting a month) I disputed the charge with Chase bank.  It was approximately 1 month more that the charge from ID Safe appeared.

I'm conivnced this has something to do with SHIPSTORE.COM.

I've been hit once two months ago, then credited...just to get hit 3 times this month foe $429 each....the name has changed to idenity protect on the last two!

Oh brother, it happended again.  The name of the company changed to Identity Protect but it's $429 charged (again) on March 10th.  Why can't the credit card companies shut down this vendor account(s)?  It seems pretty simple to me.  Here is the new twist.....Today I received a priority mail envelope from ID safe (guess they need to spend the $429 on something) asking that I verify information and mail it to them.  There is a P.O. Box mailing address.  It seems like some smart Credit Card detective could monitor the P.O. ox location and catch the bad guys!  Changed Card number.  Probably changing banks too.  There is way too much risk here.

Hit here too, yesterday, by "Identity Protect"

429 dollar charge on my Capital One debit card. I canceled the card and reversed the charges, still waiting for my money though. I will report back.
