I did not receive a call, but my credit card was charged for 220 twice on 11/5 and 11/6. I have not used that credit card recently. I hope my credit card company will take care of it.
On 10/17/2007 a charge was posted to my account in the amount of $220 by IP-SALESBYWEB.COM. I contacted my bank the the afternoon following my discovery-10/19/07 and they advised me of the phone number to contact and it is 650-249-5269. I called it and got a recording from a male Australian fellow saying to leave a message because their regular business hours were ?-? Central Australian Time. I then called my bank and cancelled my card. They advised me to notify the police and file a report, which I have not yet done. I left a message with this Live-Operator.com before I even thought this through. They have not called me back as of yet. I use paypal on rare occasions but haven't lately. I do pay my mortgage online as well as my phone and cable bill. I recently bought a monitor for my computer from BestBuy.com but other than that, I have no idea where they got my debit card number. Live- Operator.com has emailed me and stated that they are just a billing service, but they have not remedied this yet. I also looked up that phone number and found other complaints for the same amount of money on 800notes.com along with other numbers that are one digit off with the same result. I never visited the site before they took my money and I never authorized anything other than what I mentioned before. The charge on my card showed up and then I started researching the information.
Update-!
I repeatedly contacted live-operator.com and hounded them to death and finally got my money back because salesbyweb.com would not respond to their efforts. I have to applaud them for actually coming through. I threatened them with a police report and contacting the FBI, I don't know that the threat is what came through, or that they were just being honest.....????
But the bottom line is..... I got my money back! You can too!
We were scammed too.
Luckily our credit card company caught it and put a hold on our card. They hit us up at the beginning of the month and tried again a couple weeks later.
My wife just called the CC company and I did a google search of the number and came to this site.
Two minutes after I made a purchase from cyberguys.com I got billed twice for 220 bucks from this ip salesbyweb, and also got a computer phone call claiming to be from some supposed 'bank fraud department' at 888-6445575 asking me to speak my zip code and other information, I hung up, called the bank, they are issuing a new card and will investigate and return my 440 bucks. Strange.
