I just got scammed $3,200 from this same number! Rung my bank and am doing a claims report to get it resolved. Wondering how the hell they got my info??
Had a bunch of charges last month that the bank reversed. Again this month a number of charges amounting to about $200 which the bank wil reverse. Changed my bank account number, and was told to call in my account information when I buy over the net My guess is these crooks are ex employees of Facebrook who know al the secrets. It the charges nwere income to Facebook, they would have gotten back to me when my reversed charges..
Guys, i got 2 charges 289 and 74 on oct 20... sucks - i had panned a vacation abroad and had to cancel my credit card and now my vacation bookings are in a threat as they canceled my reservation due to card being not valid. This sucks these idiots are thieves. The govt take taxes from us and nothing to protect us from these cons. It sucks and i hope my bank reverses the charges. The bank said they cant reverse it and i need to file a dispute claim etc etc. What a stupid thing to deal with.
Just got charged 300 on my business account. The charge shows as: FACEBOOK.COM*CREDITS. The phone number on the charge is 1-650-543-7818. When I call it the voice mail comes up as Jaymee Chafland. This is a fraud. Glad we caught it quickly.
A $5 charge was placed on my credit card just after mid-night Central time and 25 hours later an attempt was made to put a $200 charge on the same card. My bank's fraud software denied the 2nd transaction. That's the good news. The rest is gross incompetence by my bank's fraud unit and a major problem with how credit card companies deal with fraud.
Credit card fraud can be most effectively reduced by blocking fraudulent merchants and by doing more careful checking when merchants sign up to "accept" credit and debit cards.
What should be done once I contacted my bank, is they should have checked to see if others have experienced the same fraud. They would have found many cases if they only knew how to look. They then should have contacted each of the networks (Amex, Visa, MasterCard, Discover) so that the merchant would be blocked. They do not do that.
I have been doing some checking to see where the compromised card was used by me to see where the fraudster might have gotten my credit card number and expiration date, etc. I have actually checked with the security department of most of the merchants who processed a transaction since this card was issued (fairly recently). Those that I have been able to reach have been able to pull up videos of the actual transaction. Unless one had an undetected skimming device, there is no way my card was compromised at any of those locations. I have been unable to reach one merchant whom I now suspect may have been the source of the leak.
Do not just be vigilant about your own accounts. Contact the new financial services consumer protection agency and hopefully they can get the card issuers and networks to take a more intelligent approach to fighting credit card fraud.
