Re: $9.95 scam.. check your bank statements. Do you use TurboTax? Intuit reported approximately 3-4 months ago that thier computer was stolen with all of the credit card numbers in the database. Once the thieves get a credit card number the first 8 numbers will be the same depending on your bank and which area you live. Then all they do is keep trying other numbers until one is succesful which was yours. |

It had nothing to do with TurboTax users.

Inuit spokeswoman Julie Miller said the records on the PC contain personal data, including credit card details, for about 47,000 customers who purchased ItsDeductible products between December 2002 and November 2003.

| One software that is owned by Intuit is named "Its Deductible". I received a letter, which is still in my possession, approimately 3-4 months ago from Intuit indicating that their computer was stolen which contained credit card numbers from previous purchasers and they would provide a free 3 month credit tracking if desired. I cancelled my card then but the thieves had an excellent database to begin their search into credit cards. |

Here is the site that charged me $9.95 last week. Citibank was quick to dispute and credit me. However, I still can not figure out how they got my card number. |

I've got a $9.95 charge on my B of A Visa from RN*US on 10/13/04. I suspect its a scam charge. I can't find any posts anywhere with that merchant name so, it may be a new one. |
|
| Perhaps these charges are being done by dictionary attacks?
I was hit by this absolute-soft in September; i've contacted my credit card company, IFCCFBI, internic.net ( internet registrar ), EV1 ( ISP that hosts absolute-soft ), and FTC ( ID theft ). What's left to do? |

Here is another little outfit that does a similar thing, though apparently legit. Many sites, Flowers.com, Fandango, and others have an agreement with this site. If you don't uncheck a box at the bottom of your order, you are hit up for this. Every month they charge your credit card, or checking account for 8 bucks. Why these people are allowed to stay in business is beyond me. The merchants are of no help, your credit card company is however. »www.badbusinessbureau.com/result···t=Search |

1 edit | Sooo does this mean I should never use my cc on any internet transaction or are there any good pay now type services like YowCow and PayPal...
P.S. does ebay even take checks or money orders still or is it all paypal.
Oh and my brother was charged 5.17 when he bought something at newegg.com. Apparently others where charged this fee too because someone had actually broke into them or something of the sort. It's ok though the charge was reversed. Dang scammers. |
