I got a similar charge on my debit acount and if you call the number you are refered to the website that is not accesible by a woman you can hardly understand. I've called my bank and they have cancelled my debit account and getting me a new one. They are investigating it now.
I got charged $4.69 from this company also! My credit card company believes the hackers got my card number through x-box live, since that is the only place I have ever used my card! Becareful giving card numbers on x-box live!! I also got charged from blockbusters.com. Both have to be linked through x-box live!!
No call but a charge on my credit card; card has now been cancelled! I (probably) mistakenly called their number (listed on my cc bill) first. Got a heavily-accented female recorded voice. Name of the company making the fraudulent charge: budgetbuy.org; amount of charge: $6.69, phone number listed: 301/979-9534.

BUDGETBUY.ORG 301-979-9534 is a fake front company that is part of a large group of fraudulent websites processing hijacked card data into cash. The operation is ran by a multi year organized crime syndicate operating from Eastern Europe.
The fake sites are set up exclusively to process stolen card data, and launder the charges into cash. The stolen funds are then wired to various banks in Bulgaria, Latvia, Kyrgstan, and Cyprus. Some of the stolen funds have ended up in the Ukraine.
This crime syndicate recruits cyber-mules either through fake job adds, or by targeting online posted resumes at careerbuilders.com, Monster, etc. They masquerade as legitimate software companies from various countries in Europe. The duped cyber-mules are then instructed to set up domestic LLCs / Corps, open a business bank account, and obtain merchant gateway processing services specifically through authorize.net. The crime syndicate manages the associated website and uses the services set up by the cyber-mules to launder hijacked credit cards into cash. Every single charge processed via these sites are from stolen card data. It is estimated that they may process 2 million cards a year, and may have 40 to 50 fraud sites operating at any given time.
If you receive a charge from one of these fraud entities, it is imperative that you report the charge as FRAUDULENT, and cancel and replace the card. They will keep charging it, also, check your prior statements for small fraud charges.

I need a fraud victim to post any state abbreviation that was listed on the line item fraud charge. Or to contact me on the forum listed below and send me the transaction number on the charge so I can have the merchant account terminated.
