Who do these people think they are? I while checking my account balance on the phone, it gave me a charge of $9.82 on 11/8/10. I had been using my card alot more than usual so I just assumed it was one of my charges. The only reason why I found out about this is getting a message from B of A that my card has a restriction on it due to irregular activity After speaking with B of A she told me the name of chukiechip.com and she will have to close my card and then send another in 7-10 days. What makes me so mad is that some people like myself need the $9.82 for useful stuff (like food for their kids) and then having to have the bank cancel the card and now inconvenienced because will have to wait for the bank to open just to take money out of my account so I can spend it on something useful.
Gail I had the same charge on the same day 11/6/10. The last thing I purchased online was over a month ago through amazon.com. Otherwise, I don't purchase things online except for paying my bills.
I tried to use my debit card Saturday night and Sunday morning and upon calling my bank, discovered they shut my card off due to suspected fraudulent charges. Turns out the charge was from Chuckiechip.com fo $6.21. They are sending me the paperwork to dispute the charge, however, they are the ones that spotted it. So, they are on the alert. I have to go get a new card today as well. I'm not aware of any phone calls or e-mails, although, I have had my e-mail address book "phished" recently. All the e-mails are for Viagra or a Canadian Pharmacy.
I called my bank again after reading these posts, and they put a stop to the charge before it actually went through. What a scam company! I assume most people do not notice the charge until it is too late to do anything about it. The card they used was attached to Paypal account. I recently purchased from Etsy.com. It's hard to know where these scammers get your information. Mine also occurred Saturday night, and B of A put an alert on my account that night.
I recently had a run in with chuckiechip.com. what i want to know is how they got my card number? bank of america called me it was a charge of 8.81 it is being taken care of. maybe paypal needs to be informed. i also have to get a new card.
