Re: $9.95 scam.. check your bank statements. I got a $9.95 charge on 8/15/04 from USOFTWEBSYS
The phone number on the statement, 440 378 5649, does not inspire my confidence that it is a legitimate company. It's just a voice mail box with no company name whatsoever, the only identifying information is the mailbox number, which happens to be the phone number.
This is a low-limit card used occasionally online and sometimes at retail outlets.
Currently, the only result on various search engines for "USOFTWEBSYS" is this thread. I tried searches on "u soft" "web systems" and got some foreign results. I'll try to do some machine translations where possible to find a company by the name of Usoft or U-Soft.
If you have a charge from USOFTWEBSYS or any other 9.95 charge that you think is fraud, please post somewhere it'll be indexed by a search engine. I have a feeling that it will be hard to get conclusive results from each of our credit card companies, but if we organize and share information, we may be able to find something. |
| I was just checking my MBNA account stats and found the Usoftwebsys charge of $9.95 also. I knew it wasn't something I charged because I keep personal, written documentation of every charge I make to my card separately from my statement. It was NOT something I had charged. It was dated 08/12/04 (transaction date). I tried to call my CC company, but today is Labor Day and they are not available. I will call to dispute this charge tomorrow.
I'm just wondering if I need to cancel this card and get them to re-issue. Guess I'll discuss that with the rep. tomorrow on the phone. |
