Mother F'in fraudulent charges!!! - Mr. Tune - 08-18-2006
Don't know if this has happened to anyone else here before, but I got my first one ever spotted on my statement!
Moball LLC - $4.95
WTF is moball??? I did some googling and discovered I'm not the only one who's been hit by moball. Apparantly it some game software company or something.
Called up the credit card company and to report the fraud charge. They credited my account
, and said to keep a close eye on it for other unauthorized charges. On the next one (which I'm hoping never happens) they said the card # will get changed and I'll be issued a new card, along with whatever charge it was, being credited again.Got my fingers crossed!

Wow...Good thing the credit card company is being semi-helpful.

I've never had to dispute a charge before, and I must say, I went well the first time out. The person over the phone credited it back without hesitation. Excellent customer service!

Last summer I had someone charge about $280 on a debit M/C...the company was cool about it, sent me a new card and credited the account right away.

My mom called me from her work today asking if I charged like 200 and something on her card. Something I haven't even heard of, or anyone in this house would buy from. Forgot the name, but I will let you guys know once she gets home.

Nevermind.
Ended up being my brother buying my mom a birthday gift. That would explain why she didn't know it was.

Tune,
Keep checking your CC account on line often.
Check on your Bank accounts a lot more often than you normally do.
I look my stuff over all the time and the longest I let it go is 3 days.---it sucks but it pays.
Once it gets going like you have now they know they have some good info to go off of.
I suggest to change any and all PWD's for any account you have.
I do this once a month but again it pays.
The wife and I have fallen victims to this crapola and it does get out of hand and has forced us to close account and reopen them several times.
Since then, I bank with Citi and lots of issues have stopped. Heck they stopped a charge at AL's and wanted me to phone in, all because of a gas station charge--there was three that cleared in the same day.
Yeah it was embarrasing but they had my back so I'll take a bit of crud like that.

I actually wonder how many of these problems are inside jobs.
I lost my Bank One ATM card in a Bank One ATM over a year ago. The bank could not reteive my card from the machine because they said an outside company services all their ATM machines. Apperently all bank do this.
So they closed that card and overnighted me a new card by FedEx.
Last month on a Saturday I got a call from a Bank One asking if I was in New York city. I said NOOooo. They said suspicious charges showed up on my card within the last 48 hours.
Someone withdrawled from an ATM $100, then $300, then $500 from my account using the same card that was lost in the ATM machine and that was suposively closed. :eek: How did they even get my PIN number???
I drove to the bank to get the problem solved. The bank failed to cancel the account of the lost card. Then I asked how did this person get my PIN? They did not know. They got an ear full from me. The bank reversed all charges and put the money back in my account within 24 hours.
