| I got the same changes ....
from Digital Age 888-529-98 and ART MAGIC INC.COM
funny thing is that my CC is hesitant to issue a new CC to me, instead they are issuing credits for the charges and asked me to wait until there were more charges. they claim that these might just be legitimate merchants who mistakenly charged my CC. yeah right |

"get rarest design" produces 847 hits. The site design varies, but they all seem to be the same outfit (or maybe somebody stole their code).
I wonder what the sites do? Malware, keyboard loggers? |

Same thing happened to me through my BoF debit card. File a fraud complaint and you should get your money back pretty quickly. |

It's hard to separate the fake ones in searches because they copy so much, that they can then hide in the forest!!.
It does appear that most are written by people whose native language is not English.
Many are set up as front operations to get a merchant online billing account for credit card fraud. They are not really selling any "templates", all the ones that I listed have invalid security certificates. It is now a huge industry scamming millions of dollars. Every criminal and their brother are doing it. For less than $100 they can register a domain, get web hosting and a merchant account. At the current rate of credit card data thefts, there must be ~70 mil. accounts out there. I am sure the going rate for the data has dropped considerably.
They can have access to the funds within 48hrs. of submitting the charge. The odds of getting busted are between slim and none. Do a search on devbill, reports of credit card fraud from them are well over a year old. As multiple reports of the scam become puplic, they just roll the site over, and another one comes up. Here is a web archive of the now defunct usoftwebsys.com one of last years widely reported template scams, same layout, same wording as the current crop: »web.archive.org/web/200409251743···sys.com/
You can assume that many thousands of individuals are getting billed on each of those names.
Kubus just asked above about Pluto, I guess from the Digital Age Cyprus connection. No law enforcement action has been reported yet from that story months ago, which was motivated by BBR posters: »www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7150531
The other noteworthy scam with connections to Cyprus was PharmacyCards.com: »www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4534338/ Even when the authorities became aware of it, all they were able to do is take civil action to freeze whatever funds were left in the US, as the criminals were in the UK:

| Hmmm... besides the digital age charge, there was a charge on my card for $7.95 to Hostitnow, Inc., of Staten Island, NY... a charge made at a time when I was miles deep in the woods on a backpacking trip. The bank gave me a phone #... which is nothing but an answering machine. Needless to say, I disputed that one, too.
I also found this:
quote:
One of the most widely publicised cases of credit card fraud occurred in the US, where a group of web-based companies made small, recurrent charges to hundreds of thousands of credit cards.
Although this fraud does have an e-commerce connection, experts don&'t believe the crooks obtained the card details on the Internet, but instead think they used software programs to generate valid credit card numbers out of thin air.
Since each charge only involved a small amount of money (US$20), banks processing the transactions didn't subject them to the full authorisation check that would have highlighted the fact that card numbers had been software-generated.

Re: I got the same changes ....
I just got the EXACT same charge for $7.95 from Hostitnow, INC on my Circuit City Visa card. I googled the company's name only to come here to dslreports. Thank God other people had posted or I might have just paid it off. I talked to a lady from Visa and she agreed that the charge was false. I now have a password on my account and hopefully that will stop any future charges. |

Yeah, I also got the same charge $7.95 from Hostitnow,Inc on my debit/VISA card. I think I'd get my money back, but I have to change my card which will cost me around $7.  |

Why will it cost you to change the card???, it does cost the banks ~$35 to change them, but you shouldn't have to pay.
