I have a charge on my Credit Card for $74.99 US on Jan/5/09.I do not know what it is for ??The name that shows up is DRI*ca.com.I am wandering if any of you guys have had a similar thing happen to you.I checked thru the net that name and it seems there are a few people in the States already having amounts put on their Credit or Debit Cards with this name showing up.Seems like some kind of Fraud attempt and people are fighting it.I e-mailed my Visa Card thru my Bank and explained to them that I didn't make that transaction.Waiting for a reply.They helped me out a few years back when I ordered something thru a company in California and they charged me twice the same amounts. One amount was then erased from my staement.
But in this case,I have not ordered anything in 2009 off the net,so beware and stay on top of it.There is a Rip Off Resigtry consumers can go to and submit this fraud and it will accumulate and this will help in the future to put pressure on these places to stop what they are doing,either thru the police,by the government or thru a Law. Just wanted to let u guys know about it.
 

i just switched my card but using the same account through my bank because wierd transactions were happening but i wasnt using my card becuase i never know when im going to need it for emergencys so when there is only a little in it i put it away..long story short i go to use it one day..it is locked (my account) i call the bank & they put a block on all transactions because of the wierd withdrawls..needless to say there was no money missing but somebody did try to take out money.be carful.

Credit card numbers, names, mailing addresses, Social Security numbers, etc. are all being sold on the internet today. Sign up for credit monitoring at freecreditreport.com, and you can monitor your credit at all times. Will show you anything being taken out in your name, new cards, loans, etc. You can choose to have them e-mail you if something changes as well.
 
My farther-in-law had a call last week asking him what kind a vehicke he drove. When he told them they said they had a program for that vehicle to extend the warranty three more years and all the needed to verify everything was the numbers found at the bottom of his cheques.
My wife used to be a teller at the local bank here and said with that info they can get into all your accounts at the bank.
Damn pricks preying on the elderly.We now have set it up so if these wierd calls come in again he just has to press *55 and the numbers are recorded and than when we have had enough it can all be fowarded to the local cops.
 
yep. ive done that with craigslist scammers... they never get back to me with conact info...lmao loosers! :rofl:
 
i have had 2 possible fraud attempts but they were stopped before anything bad happened. once through a local grocery store someone hacked into their system and got account info from people using their debit cards, my credit union which is also local cancelled and replaced all cards #'s with new. my other attempt was with harley owner group one of the officers on the national level had his laptop stolen and there was member info there. they set up a credit watch dog account for all members affected so you could check as often as you like and sleep at night.
 
my Visa company says they can't cancell a transaction. I told them I do not know the merchant and I do not have anything that says I purchased something.I have nothing for the $$$ it comes down to.So I told them when I pay my card off..I will cancel that card with them.I have a second card that I can use anyways.If they don't like that,then I'll cancel all accounts with them and move to another Bank.Screw them then...lol
 
i just had several charges on my check card removed. its not that hard to do. Someone at a ski place took the number from my daughter while standing in line, or the sales person took it. Next day, someone was buying all kinds of snowboards stuff, sneakers, etc... Trying to have it sent to jamaca newyork. 1200$from my checking, good thing i dont use it for much.
 
yep..I have heard about stuff like that happening before.Got to keep on top of it,but them scammers are always out to get you.That's their life.
 
My husand has about $8,000 worth of stuff charged to his CC. The credit card company took it right off, sent out a new card no questions asked!

A golf store in my home town sold a bunch of clubs and what not over the phone (couple $1,000 worth) ... turned out the CC numbers used were stolen. The golf store had to eat the fraud since they did not verify the accounts.
 
good news...maybe

Well I am happy to hear that VISA is doing an investigation on the charges on my card.I told them I cannot verify who that company is and tried getting into their site,but any user and passwords I use do not work.And I have no confirmation from them on any service they are providing.It will be dispute on the charges,takes about 45 days for investigation to resolve anything.At least they are looking into it.
 
Well to my surprise,Visa has credited me back the money .I am happy with the outcome.I am still going to pay off my card and then cancel it.I have another Visa I will now use so no one can charge me on the old number.
