No phone call, no yellow paper. Just a call from my bank to say 6 fraudelent transactions had been made totaling over $500 whilst my card was WITH ME in my wallet and I hadn't accessed my account for at least 24 hours. I live in Australia and thankfully my bank is refunding the money ASAP but it seems after reading these posts it has been going on for over a year all over the world - why is no one looking into how this is happening and stopping it?
BEWARE! This scam is still on the rise. My bank called me when they noticed a suspicious transaction for a $475 transaction from RWS-ESERVICES SINGAPORE SG. I too have no idea how this happened!!! Although the charge is being disputed through my bank, I didn't authorize the transaction.
Now I am going to have to fight to get my money back.
I also was scammed - luckily my bank noticed it immediately and locked my account. Its a pain in the butt but I guess its good that it was caught early. Their timing was good as I was travelling and making alot of purchases - so had the bank not flagged it I may not have noticed !!
Glad I checked here.
I received a call from this number yesterday morning- 415 363 9552. They didn't leave a message. Other forums indicate that this number is a telemarketer number of some sort. However, this morning my bank account was overdrawn by RWS ESERVICES. The charge is pending so I hope we can stop it before it goes through.
Well I got two today totalling $527 from RWS-ESERVICES SINGAPORE. The filthy scammers, never heard of them, never purchased anything at all remotely at the price. I noticed the fraud transaction straight away and contacted my bank today asking for a chargeback, hopefully I will get my money back soon.
Got me too, no calls or papers but I was hit also by RWS-ESERVICES,SINGAPORE,SG for $718.65. They made 4 charges one after the other each getting larger. Mine was on my Paypal card and were pending so I was able to stop the transfers. It is really frightening that people can get access to this type of information and obviously steal from so many. Seems that these thieves are having a grand time with everyone's money. I hope everyone gets theirs back and these jerks are caught. I just wonder if we all don't have something in common that they are pulling card numbers from.
