Today I received a bill on my credit card for $53.99! Until I read the comments on this page, I had no idea as to whom these rats are! Never heard of them before. I’ve been experiencing a raft of unsolicited charges on my credit card so just recently I ordered a new card. It came. Now I’m getting more pseudo-billings than ever!!! How the hell do these rats get access to my credit card account?! I surely did not authorize them! Fully half my credit card bill is made up of these false charges! I think it’s time to bring this very troublesome and ongoing fraud to the attention of various states and the Federal attorney’s general! Plus, if my credit card company keeps allowing these rats access to my account, I will simply not do business with the anymore; and the sad part is, is that it is my own credit union giving them access!

Adult Friend Finder protects the perpetrators of ID Theft. They might agree that the charge was invalid and reverse it, but they will not release any information about the person that placed the charge without a court order.

Fill out and sign the form from your bank or cc company for a fraudulent charge. Have that credit/debit card immediately cancelled and a new one issued. File a police report on the incident. It is THEFT! Have a fraud alert placed on your account with all of your major credit bureaus. Request a current credit report from them as well to see if any other fraudulent financial activity has taken place.

The only way to stop this is by being proactive. The companies may be allowing the fraudulent activity, but the only way to fight it is to take the above steps. Don’t just be satisfied with a reversal of the charges. Take it all the way!!

I received a $34.00 charge from BILFF.COM today on a credit card that I have not used in well over a year. I called the bank & they refunded the charge and I canceled the card. If you go to the BILLF.COM web site the intro is if your card has been fraudulently charged your at the right place.

It’s now 2009, and AmericanSingles is still committing this same crime which was discussed in 2006. Five days ago, my bank alerted me to fraudulent activity on my credit card. The fraudulent charges came from these merchants:

AEROMEDIX
FTD.COM 1 800 SEND FTD
CosmeticMall.com
KODAK AUTH 1
AMERICANSINGLES.COM
MEETIC.COM
BILLFF.COM

The bank reversed the charges and cancelled the card. It is possible that some of the crime web sites are related to AmericanSingles, such as the Meetic.com and Billff.com. I have never been to these web sites and had never heard of them before.

Hey Tommy, thanks for the info.

A recent news article could offer another idea to how your card (and mine) was stolen. A company called Heartland Payment Systems was recently hacked and this company does a lot of credit and debit card processing. They handle hundreds of thousands of transactions a day so chances are we’ve all passed through their system at some point.

Anyway, the fact that credit card numbers were stolen in huge quantities from the middle-man could mean that sometimes our fraudulent charges are not occurring because of how or where we are using our card or even how secure our computers are. It could simply be because the company handling the transactions behind the scenes is breached.

I’m not letting AmericanSingles off the hook here because they do appear to have a complacent attitude regarding fraudulent charges (enough so that the theives apparently know they can safely use the site as a testing ground). All I’m saying is that the more I hear about this sort of activity the less likely it seems that AmericanSingle would be directly involved.

I just got a message on my cell phone from bank of america for fraudulent activity to please call them back, so I called bank of america back, so happens the fraudulent activity was on my visa credit card, I only use this credit card for revolving bill’s paid once a month, a new account was added yesterday to pay 149.00 a month by AmericanSingles.com ,,,,,,, what set off the alert with bank of america was, AmericanSingles.com gave the wrong expiration date ,,,,,,,, how did they get my credit card number? I do not recall ever going to AmericanSingles.com ,,,,, maybe they have a organization of people working for them or some one else,,,,,,one of there servers may have nothing to do with AmericanSingles.com maybe some one is using a program to scan your computer for personal info then is sent to AmericanSingles.com
