Re: [Credit Card] Generex Technology LLC

614-559-0566 is the phone number my CC company gave me to call Generex, apparently getting the phone number from what little info they have regarding Generex.

Since I posted the above earlier today, I have been in touch with the local sheriff's department who is going to try and look into this...but because of Generex being out of state, it may be difficult. I did give them all the information, including the phony Dayton address and the name that immediately brings a red flag to my mind.... Mambwene L Wamba! (Could this be a new Nigerian scam??) Once my cell phone recharges (after all the calls today), I am going to call the CC company again, request a new CC and let them handle Generex. The $9.95 charge is already marked for dispute and I was told to let them know if I received no response...so far no response through email (why am I not surprised???).

Thanks for the heads up!! I'll pass on this new info to the CC company and law enforcement officals.

Latest update on Generex:
I did receive an email from them this morning.....

"We got your e-mail regarding a charge on your credit card.
Could you please inform me with the last numbers at your card and who
is the card holder. Unfortunately we couldnt find the transaction
without that information to check our database. If you didnt make any
purchase we will make a refund for you.

WOW! This is the first time I've heard of this company. I check my cc statement every week online and found a charge was posted on 12/27 and it was charged on 12/26 for $4.95. Thanks to y'all, I have already called the cc bank and sent an email to these people. You would think that with so many complaints, someone could file some charges and have this person/persons put away. Think I will call the @($*^#%$# at home! Might even go so far as to report it to the sheriff's dept where this person lives. Don't know if it will do any good, but I will update.

Hi, I just left my bank, this happened to me too. They are issuing me a new check card. Mine was 14.95 and I got the recording y'all are talking about. I am glad I came home to search for this. I have purchsed thru ebay/paypal, a vitamin co and a few electronic satelille radio places online. WOndering if we could figure out where they got our card numbers.

Well, first thing... the cc bank reversed the charge immediately and are issuing a new card. HSBC said that their info showed an internet transaction without the card present. At any rate, I am still not done with this. I have only used this card at 4 locations on the internet... Ebay/Paypal, Personal Creations, Hallmark and 1800flowers.com. In this day and age, it wouldn't surprise me if someone's employee is selling the cc info for a few bucks. Although many of us have caught it, there are masses of folks who don't check their statement charges (ie: my mom) and just pay their bills.

If you email Generex and get a reply, please post the header info (XXX out your email address and ISP). I would like to see from where and how the response is routed.

There are several possible scenarios as to the source of your account details, and some are not related to any recent card activity. In my opinion, the chances that it originated from one of several recent card processor data thefts is one likely possibility.

It is good to see that despite the nominal charge, people are catching it. Then in addition to disputing the charge as fraud, they are also having the cards reissued.

Taking an extra few minutes to run a search on a unrecognized charge can be very beneficial.

Is this the header you are talking about? If not, I have saved the email and can forward the whole thing to you if you like.

Scroll down to the bottom of the message window, and click "Full Headers".

If you want, you can email me the headers - removed@removed.us - and I'll get them posted here.

Got it... I have sent it to you at your email address. Hope this gives you some info you can use. Let me know if there is anything else you need and I'll get it for you.

Okay, here it is:

Just exactly what do you do with that information?

I'm able to tell where the message came from, along with some other minor details.

YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS IS STILL IN THE HEADER!!!

Have a look at the line "Received: from [82.195......" and edit accordingly if you so desire.
