drabley Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 My cc was used to purchase a bunch of cosmetics from some online store in Finland or some shit. My company caught it, rejected the payment, and gave me a new card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selfreliable Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 This shit sucks. Happened to me with Amex a few years ago. Good 15K charged on it. Unfortunately, I got stuck footing the bill as I didnt notice in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamitekid Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Mine was 3 separate charges. A total of $170 I think. I caught it though and got it back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedavidescapeplan Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 This happened to me on Monday. They spent like $125, but I was able to get it back today thankfully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I had to say with them was that i didn't sign for it and they reversed the charges immediately. sucks man, sorry to hear they fucked you over.

Essentially what they said was because most charges were done in a 20 mile radius of all my other charges they thought it was me just trying to get out of the charges. We went around for a while, but in the end I still got stuck footing the bill. Whoever did it sure knew how to make the charges stick.

Then send said report to amex, at that point they legally have to take care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirbypuckett Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 A few years ago my CC # was stolen and the person tried to buy $3,000 in shoes. Idiots. Discover flagged that ASAP and I changed my #. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonesomexloveus Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 my roommate from college's fiance had his identity stolen. his bank caught it cuz they called him and asked him if he'd been out of the country recently. apparently someone in romania tried to buy a bmw with his info. his response was to ask how much it cost to ship a bmw to the united states. he's a funny guy.

perk900 Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 I got hit for this too. Two different cards on two different days. Both of them were used to make purchases on Vinyl Collective and are stored cards for purchasing. I'm wondering how secure our info is?

booyahachieved Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I had a few hundred dollars in charges show up on my Fifth Third Bank credit card a few months bank. All of the transactions were from the UK so they had an accompanying "international transaction fee" associated with them. Made them easy to identify and easy to report as being fraudulent. So far all the charges have been credited back do my card but I'm still nagging them to refund all the fees... so far they've only refunded 2 of the 5. All I need to do is call them and complain but I'm too lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imaxcowboyx Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 holy shit...the EXACT same thing happened to me. I just found out somebody charged 150 bucks on autotrader.com and an as-of-now-unposted charge to amazon.. luckily the people at BB&T locked my account, but what the shit is going on??

adamlikesmusic Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 I got hit for this too. Two different cards on two different days. Both of them were used to make purchases on Vinyl Collective and are stored cards for purchasing. I'm wondering how secure our info is? That's an interesting thought. I always pay VC through Paypal, which in turn has my credit card as a source of payment. Just makes more sense to me, as I usually have some change in my account. (Granted I haven't bought through VC in quite a while, as my buying as a whole has slowed) I spent $7 at Banquet Records in the UK online, and my CC company froze my card and called me like half a dozen times to confirm I actually meant to make the charge. Was a bit irritating, though I guess it's nice to know they're watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamitekid Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 supposedly, there is a problem with facebook so it might have something to do with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
