never seen this number before and they did not leave a message.

Hi, I'm France, my US account got debited $9.80 by an outfit called Chukiechip.com. Never heard of it. Based on this chat chain it is apparent this is a scam engine that scours for bank accounts and debits them for the same small amount, perhaps because that elicits little or no attention. I have alerted my bank; others should do the same, that's the only way to put these people out of business.

We were balancing our checking account and noted a purchase from Chukiechip.com for something less than $10.00 apparently using our credit card as a debit transaction or credit card transaction as our cards are linked to our checking account.  

with the information above, its clear this is a scam/fraud so we;re reporting the matter to our bank today and getting new cards.  First time this has ever happened to us.

I also opened up my bill today had a charge from chuckiechip.com.....i just contacted my credit card company and they have it in dispute.....kind of bums me out that as I have no idea how they got my credit card number......i haven't used it.

Who do these people think they are?  I while checking my account balance on the phone, it gave me a charge of $9.82 on 11/8/10.  I had been using my card alot more than usual so I just assumed it was one of my charges.  The only reason why I found out about this is getting a message from B of A that my card has a restriction on it due to irregular activity  After speaking with B of A she told me the name of chukiechip.com and she will have to close my card and then send another in 7-10 days.  What makes me so mad is that some people like myself need the $9.82 for useful stuff (like food for their kids) and then having to have the bank cancel the card and now inconvenienced because will have to wait for the bank to open just to take money out of my account so I can spend it on something useful.

This is crazy.  I have never been targeted for fraud either but got snagged with a $9.04 charge.  I called the company and spoke to a woman with a british accent (like a previous post had mentioned) and she said she would credit my card, and they did.  I did immediately cancel my credit card though.  The person I spoke too seemed bummed when I said I was going to immediately cancel my card.  They had a website online but now it's not available.  I guess they have moved on but hope they get caught.

CHECKCARD CHUKIECHIP.COM San Jose CA ON 11/17/2010  --- just happened to me too.  BOFA notified me immediately.  I have no idea how this happened either..

Same thing happened to me! I just got hit also with a fraudulent charge of $9.71 on my Wells Fargo VISA credit card from chukiechip.com. I am never targeted for fraud . . . never.  I notified my bank a moment ago and they assured me they'll take care of this from here.

If anyone wants to see if we have similarities and help narrow the search for this fraud group, here are my recent uses of my card.  I had a charge on 11/12 for $9.66

11-12-2010 I had the $9.66 charge to my DEBIT card.  Called the bank and they are working to fix it once it is actuially debited.  The only thing I have been doing lately is travelling to NC and I only used chain fast food stores.  Guess that someone has stolen some data since there are so many people on here reporting it.

I too had this happen to me....looked up the whois info on the domain. Doesn't tell me much. It was worth a try.

Probably fake info.

i too was alerted by BOA today. Charge was 9.79. never been anywhere near thier site. called the number on the website, actually got someone, she had a british accent, asked for my last four of my bank acct- uh.no! ask for my name, etc. i asked if she had gotten anyother calls..she hung up on me! I also filed with the FBI .

I too had my bank contact me on Saturday to inform me of a fraudulant charge from this chukiechip.com for $5.06 and they immediately canceled my card.  I don't recall having a call from this number, but I know last week I began getting a lot of strange emails that didn't go to my spam account.  I hope someone gets this company stopped soon!

Gail I had the same charge on the same day 11/6/10.  The last thing I purchased online was over a month ago through amazon.com.  Otherwise, I don't purchase things online except for paying my bills.  

Confused and concerned!!

I recently had a run in with chuckiechip.com. what i want to know is how they got my card number? bank of america called me it was a charge of 8.81 it is being taken care of. maybe paypal needs to be informed. i also have to get a new card.

Same thing - chukiechip - called them and they told me they had an order for an Wii cable

Called my bank and got a new card and filed with FBI

I called my bank again after reading these posts, and they put a stop to the charge before it actually went through. What a scam company! I assume most people do not notice the charge until it is too late to do anything about it. The card they used was attached to Paypal account. I recently purchased from Etsy.com. It's hard to know where these scammers get your information. Mine also occurred Saturday night, and B of A put an alert on my account that night.

I tried to use my debit card Saturday night and Sunday morning and upon calling my bank, discovered they shut my card off due to suspected fraudulent charges. Turns out the charge was from Chuckiechip.com fo $6.21. They are sending me the paperwork to dispute the charge, however, they are the ones that spotted it. So, they are on the alert. I have to go get a new card today as well. I'm not aware of any phone calls or e-mails, although, I have had my e-mail address book "phished" recently. All the e-mails are for Viagra or a Canadian Pharmacy.

A charge from chukiechip.com was placed on my atm account on 11-6. My bank notified me of potential fraud on my account, and I have a new card today, but they cannot stop the charge of 9.39 as it is processing.

on 10/11 my card was charged 9.97
on 10/21 my card was credited 9.97
the tel no as of 10/12 for amerotechnics was 239.214.8312

I got a charge on my checking accnt on 10/31 for $8.87 from chukiechip.com and called to have the charge refunded.  they said it would take 2-3 business days.

I also received a charge from CHUKIECHIP.COM on 10/29 for $9.37.  As suggested above, I will contact the FBI regarding this scam, but I had to cancel my card earlier today :-(

Do you play evony, or does anyone you live w/ play? also, where do you live, we need to see what common ground we have as why we were targeted and how?   Brad    (bradlynorwood@yahoo.com)

I have had a charge also, and chukiechip.com is a computer company i am checking into, so far the answering machine is a euro accent....

Yes, same thing happened to me.  It wsa for less then 10.00 and I would not have even noticed it unless I was researching something else.

Though I did not receive a call, I did have a charge from chukiechip.com in August.  I got it resolved by contacting them via email and suspecting fraud.  I was reimbursed.  I got another similar charge today from 24technix.com and the websites are remarkably similar (same header graphics).  I have zero doubt in my mind that this is a fraudulent group and I have contacted the FBI.  I strongly urge everyone here to do the same.  A simple email to your regional FBI office (just google FBI and you'll get a useful site) and give a quick rundown of what happened.  Be specific about websites and transaction dates and amounts.  They all seem to be under $10 to try and slip under the radar.  IF YOU DON'T CONTACT THE FBI, THEN THESE GUYS WILL CONTINUE TO DO THIS!!

Ok.  Sorry for the soapbox, but I have a friend that works for the Bureau and this is his recommendation.  If you don't have enough of a demand for a specific group, then it won't get pursued.  "The squeaky wheel gets the grease."

Good luck everyone.

Same thing happened to both my card and my husbands.  Getting new cards as well.  Tried to contact the company and always got disconnected.  My two charges were listed under two different names but when you type the website in they look exactly the same.  One charge was from amerotechnics at the number listed and the other was www.chukiechip.com with the number 209-710-5567.  This is obviously not a company...more like scam artist.   I don't think they actually sale anything.  Both charges were less than $10.  May not be much but I am going to do what I can.  I sent them both emails using the other one as return.  I will continue to do so as many times as I can.  They have made me mad!  Thieves!!!!

Identical response for me, MERmade, although my "order" was apparently for some plastic USB disk case or something.  But they seem to have used my old credit card information (my bank had recently issued new cards with different numbers for an entirely unrelated reason), so I guess that was lucky-ish.

same thing has happened to us...someone get me an address and I'll stop if myself...I have folks who specialize in such matters...

I had a charge made on my debit card which suddenly showed up with the same phone number and Amerotechnics as the company.  It was for 9.90.  I emailed the company and they wrote back saying the charge was for an adapter cable (I never ordered) and they would be happy to cancel the order and refund my money.  They had my home address and a phoney email address.  I reported it to my bank who is investigating it and I had to cancel my card.  This forum is great if the charge hasn't already been made but they seem to be charging random cards for a bogus order so it's almost too late once you find it.  Hopefully they will be shut down soon!
