I was also hit on 01/08/10 with charges from this same merchant in the same amount as others for $4.55. Here is some additional information about the website itself, who may be hosting or in support of this person/company. I have already sent a fax advising that the AG office in WA, IL and my state are being notified. If enough people flood this company with faxes it may help. Also, it appears that this site was launched in August 2009.

They appear to have tapped into JC Penney's Credit Card Data Base as that was the only charge we authorized for the same day. Can anyone else concurr that is the data base they accessed? No need to cancel your card just contact your bank and they will do a chargeback. That costs Global E-Business $30.00 every time that happens.
That address in WA indicats a PMB 368. Meaning Private Mail Box. It is a UPS Store or Private Postal Store and not an actual office/business location. If the store owner is contacted he will contact the US Postal Inspector as it is "mail fraud".
I spoke to the UPS Store owner that this company gets their mail at (PMB #368)and the Police had already contacted the store owner so the Bellevue Police are aware of the situation and so is the store owner but the boxholder has long gone. However if you can follow the money and can determine where Global E-Business banks where the money is deposited from Visa/MasterCard then the bank can get involved. Most likely they set up the accounts under assumed names and social security numbers?
They draw it out of my account about every 3 months. I thought this was Barnes and Noble for over priced coffee. But I see now that B and N is compromissed my account
