Hey stan are these legit people because i live in Houston and i would love to pay these rip-off *ussys a visit. I was charged the same 9.87 charge thank god paypal is really good about fixing this situation.

I also found a charge for $9.87 dated 2/3/07 on my account from PictureGlobus.com  I did visit the site after googling for computer wallpaper/pictures.  I was looking for free pics/wallpaper. I did not give them any personal info nor did I authorize them to charge my account for any reason.  How are these folks getting this info?  

Also, I was concerned about DunkaDunk's comments above about PayPal.  I always thought PayPal was safe since you pay them and they pay the merchant.
Does PayPal allow merchants to have EXTRA purchases/subscriptions automatically checked off for us to purchase when we are buying stuff using their service?  ...BobbyG

Charge on our office credit card on 02/08/08 for the same amount, $ 9.87 from TemplateGlobus.com. Never been to this site, never ever gave them any info. No idea how they get credit card info... I am going to dispute the charge, I hope it is not too late...

Got a charge 6/20/08 from mobileglobus 210-807-4272 in the amount of $9.87.  Called the #, got the same message as Stan. Going to my bank Monday. I noticed that the first comment was December '07.  Why hasn't something been done about this rip-off?

No call - just fraudulent charge on credit card from Tem Plate Globus for $9.87.  Canceling card - reporting as fraud.

HELP ME

someone also fraudulenly posted a charge of $9.87 on my account, the name of the company was mobileglobus.com

We didn't get a phone call from this organization either like many of these postings also mention, but we DID get a charge on our credit card for the same $9.87 that seems to be the common charge for a number of people.  I have asked my credit card to remove this amount and they will investigate it.

Wasn't a call. Had a debit post to my checking account under the name mobileglobus comobileglob on purchase description on 5/26, charge was 9.87

My credit card statement has the same as everyone else..$9.87.  So my Visa company googled the phone number we all have and found hundreds of similar hackings into credit cards by this scam artist.  They have advised me to close the card and get a new card number issued.  It's a hassle, but so is my credit rating if it gets messed up.  Since the charges are under $10.00 I was told that FBI and others do not investigate, but my Visa bank said they will email all the scam claims and all of their investigation to the FBI and see about this since it is an interstate call and phone.  Be advised!

Same charge occurred on my debit card just a few days ago.  For $9.87, but the company appears to have changed its name now to templategeyser.com with a phone number of 301-979-9960.

I will report to FBI.

$9.87 from PROPHOTOSLAND.COM on a Bank of America credit card. The number listed (609-916-0040 NJ) was disconnected when I called. I reported it as a fradulent charge to my credit card company and to the FBI website. I cancelled my credit card.

Received a charge for 9.87 on my visa from pictureglobus.com as well, called got the same recording as others. Immediately notified my ccc of fraudulent charge and cancelled account.  Heading over to the FBI site now this has happened to me twice in 3 days on 2 different cards 1st was on debit card amount of 9.65 from World Trade....be aware!

This happened to me in January 2007 by KATO Tech, a charge of $12.95 showed up on my account.... I'll be testifying against Ms. Owens next week.

Got me too. We have got to bring this sucker down! Will contact Iccc right away. Contacted cc company as soon as we saw it on our statement. I would like to thank everybody for posting. This is the only way we, as civilized people will be able to deal with situations like this.

Hey everyone.  Ok, this happened to me today also.  My question to everyone would be, what do we all have in common?  This was also done on my husband's card.  The only thing he really orders online are supplements.  Anyone else?  It seems that it would have to be from a site that we've all had in common and ordered something from!  Thoughts anyone?

My bank is crediting the $9.87 but we do have to cancel the card and all.

Obviously the FBI and law enforcement aren't doing anything about this scam because I got hit with the same $9.87 charge from these people on 2/11/08.  Now I have to close my Visa debit card and wait 5 days to get a replacement.  What a pain!

I got this Charge on my credit card for $9.87 from pictureglobus.com on 1/25/2008. Fraudulent charge. Reported to bank.

I got hit with the $9.87 charge on 2/8.  On 2/3 I noticed a pending charge of $3.68 from a company called Life Arts 7.  Called my bank and they said company was located in NJ.  I've never heard of them nor done business with them.  The TemplateGlobus charge appeared as pending on 2/6, posted on 2/8.  I'm beginning to think the Life Arts 7 pending charge was the scammers "testing the waters" to see if the card was good.  I made an online purchase on the day Life Arts 7 appeared as pending, but not with any of the companies I've seen listed as a possible connection (McAfee, United Airlines, etc).  However these scammers are getting the info, their good.  Too bad they don't put their talents to better use.  To them, all I can say is, Kiss my A$$!

Here too - a charge for $9.87 from templateglobus.com on VISA posted 2/3/08.  Reported as fraus to my issuing bank.  I also called corporate VISA merchant fraud line at 650-432-2978 - left a detailed message and my phone number - have not heard back yet - but will update this post if and when they do get back to me.

I also was charged $9.87 on my gm card on 12/27/07 from templateglobus.com.  I called the 210-807-4272 number on my statement and it also just tells me to go to their website to fill out a form and they would call me back.  I called my credit card company and they credited back the amount to me.  However, I'll be watching my card and if it happens again I'll be canceling my card.  I just don't know how they got my card info as I haven't used this card in a long time.

same thing happened to me. I was charged $9.87 from Imaglobus.com. I am not using my card for 6 months. Better close it.

Also, before I called the bank, I came across all this information.  The guy I first talked to at the bank suggested I call the company.  I said I wouldn't bother because I know I never went on their website and know that it's fraudulent.  It obviously wasn't a mistake.  Don't dispute it, tell them to take the charge off.

I too found a charge of $9.87 today on my debit card from Pictureglobus.com.   I did make complaints to IC3 and the Federal Trade Commission.  My bank said they would credit me the amount and issue me a new debit card.

I received a charge of $9.87 from Pictureglobus.com. I notified the fraud department of my CC and complained at the web site. Same day they refunded money to the one CC, they charged the same amount ($9.87 again) to another CC of mine. Please take time to report this to the Better Business Bureau in Houston, Texas: http://www.bbbhou.org.

I also just got the $9.87 charge from templateglobus.com.  The first girl at gm card that I spoke to was not helpful, insisting that I was present and the card was verified with an ID for an online purchase.  That made me laugh.  She also insisted the 2108074272 showing up in the statement line was not a phone -- yet I called it and got Globus... hmmm.  Was finally transferred to the dispute department and got it taken care of.  You would think that the credit card companies would send out a "hot sheet" of current frauds going on, no matter how small the amounts are.

I recently (12-9-07)went through the same thing as you with this templateglobus.com. I noticed a $9.87 charge on my debit card. I questioned it to the bank (12-11-07) and was given the phone number to templateglobus.com (210-807-4272). They did not respond to the phone but referred me to their web site to send an inquiry. I requested them to refund my my money and explain. I got an immediate response with a refund indicated. A few minutes later another email saying that someone must have my debit card number because someone had opened an account with them using my name, card number, email address. They also provided an IP address for the computer that it was sent from. It was not my IP address. They said they were turning over the problem to their security section and would tell me any further information they got on the matter. I sent another email to them requesting more info there has been no further response. I just found this website and all the other victims that have been affected by this scam.  I will now report this to the FBI as I should have earlier.  I did not receive a call from this number.

When you get off your high horse, I'll send you my proctologist's number. Peace!

i got hit too, did my own investigation and found that they pickup your Credit/debit card numbers from vending machines specially like MTA/bus ( mine was done from NYC)and then charge goes to your CC or bank account. also seems gas station is other target. hope FBI catches them soon, my other friends got ripped off too. i got mine reverted by CC company
