I don't know who these people are , but they keep charging my Debit card every couple of weeks and I want it to stop

I haven't gotten a phone call but allroadsleadtohere llc keeps putting charges on my credit card. don't know who they are and they weren't authorized to do so. someone needs to stop them

Same problem here.  Charges but have no idea who they are.  Never dealt with them before.

Scamming money from credit cards. Three transactions on my account in July and August 2010

allroadslead2here.com appears to a fraud. They have been charging my debit card every two weeks.  I have not heard them or dealt with them until I see the charges on my statement.

I just logged a complaint on BBB. We founds three charges on our credit card in July and August. The credit card companies do nothing about the actual issue. Our company wouldn't even do a chargeback because 90 days have passed and the amounts were so small we missed them within this period. These scammers have to be stopped. I can't believe that only 5 people logged complaints with BBB. If you were scammed take action.

I also just found two charges of $4.93 on my card.

According to the BBB, they are in Nebraska.  See here:

Please file a complaint with the NE attorney general here:

I also have a fraudulent charge on my debit card ($4.97) an almost unnoticed amount! I did report it to my bank and they "hotcarded" my debit card. I hope someone shuts them down!

I was charged for something i didn't buy.

I am just so mad , it is not the amount but the thought for someone can do this

I Too have had charges taken out of my card, I canceled my card as of today what a pain, these people should be in jail for scamming this many people..

We have also been a victom of the $4.93 fraudulent charges.  I's a Visa card too and happened this last weekend.

I just noticed a charge on my account.  I did a searched the website and got here.  I don't know that any company called.  I have been too busy to answer the phone lately.  I try to sit down every pm and check messages.

Same thing as others here -- total of probably 6 charges. The interesting thing in my case? It's for a debit card I literally never use, so it's unlikely it resulted from any online spending. That's why it jumped out at me -- one of the only charges on the account.

I just got charged the $4.93 today. Called my Citibank and cancelled my debit card.

Me too!  $4.93 debited from my account on August 12th.  Reporting to Atty General in Florida, too small for my bank to refund but closed account, worried about bigger transaction later.

These guys are straight up engaging in credit card fraud, there's not much to it.  You didn't sign up for anything, intentionally or not.  They have a database of stolen credit card numbers that they run through a processor.  They make fradulent transactions for small amounts (e.g., $4.93) in hopes the a lot of people won't notice and just pay them.  At somepoint there will be enough charge backs and their merchant accout will be revoked, so they'll move to a different site/name/LLC and start the same thing all over again.  Of course, they do run a website so it would at least appear that they're selling a legitimate product, but I'd challenge anyone to actually try to purchase something from them.  When I first ran into them in July, half the site didn't even work.

If you get charges from these guys just call up your bank and dispute the transaction.  You don't need to contact the company first since it's a tranaction "you do not recognize" and you have no past relationship with them.  They will credit your account fairly quickly, although the merchant has approximately a month to file a rebuttal which they won't do since they're scammers.  Chances are if you've been hit with this your credit card number is stolen and you will run into these charges again.  I've had 5-6 in the past year.  Ask your bank to issue you a new credit card number and it should go away.  I haven't only because I have a few temporarily, automated deductions that it would be a pain to reconfigure right now.

Wow.. looks like I joined this club unintentionally...  3 charges of $4.93 each.  2 in July and now one in August.  Has anyone actually gotte resolution through their banks?  I plan to call mine tomorrow to begin a dispute.

more than likely it has to do with another Internet purchase you made.  

Some internet retailers offer SPECIAL offers that have their OWN terms and conditions separate from the retailer you purchased from,  So if they offered free shipping or $$ off you current order  - you gave them permission to charge the same card you used for your original purchase for the GAMES membership program.  

It could also have been a check sent to you that appeared to come from your bank and it appears the check  for $8 - $9 is for being a loyal customer.  However cash that check and you sign up for a membership program - and it clearly indicated in the information with the check - I get them all the time and they get shredded immediately.

That is why it is SO Important to READ the terms and conditions carefully on all website and Special offers as well as the PRIVACY Policy

Visa Tackles Scam Practices
(Wednesday, April 28, 2010)
Visa, one of the world's largest credit card companies, is taking aim at "scam" marketing practices that were quietly used by some of the Internet's largest retailers in recent years.
Retailers will no longer be able to allow third parties to charge a customer's card without the card owner re-entering credit card information, Visa said Tuesday. This is Visa's response to one of the biggest scandals to rock online retailing in years.
Last year, the U.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation launched an investigation after learning that thousands of consumers had complained about receiving mysterious credit card charges.
The committee concluded that millions of consumers were misled into signing up for so-called loyalty programs with the help of companies such as as Classmates.com, Continental Airlines, Priceline, Orbitz, Buy.com, and many others. Lawmakers said during hearings that these merchants had made an unholy but profitable alliance with one or more of three so-called post-transaction marketing firms: Webloyalty, Affinion, and Vertrue.
Under most of the agreements between the marketing firms and retailers, an advertising page is presented to shoppers while they complete a transaction at the retailer's online store. Many shoppers say they entered their e-mail address and pushed a large "Yes" button on the ad because it appeared to be a $10 cash-back offer or coupon. Many of those who complained say they thought they were being rewarded by the retailer for making a purchase.
Buried in the fine print are the full terms of the deal. Customers are notified that by providing their e-mail address they are joining a membership program and agreeing to pay one of the marketing firms a monthly fee, typically between $10 and $20. Many people said they didn't see this notice.
Visa's new requirement is designed to send a "clear signal to cardholders that a second purchase is being initiated and protects them from questionable marketing practices," the company said.
With the government leaning on them, many of the merchants involved have severed ties with the post-transaction marketers, which have also taken steps to alter their business practices. They haven't gone far enough, however, critics have said.

I filed a complaint with my bank, Wells Fargo, in Los Angeles, CA.  I had two charges in July and one (so far) in August, 2010.  My bank is on it - will refund the money - and will file their own claims.  It's not the $15 (although I never went to or signed up for this gaming site) - it's the idea that some unknown entity could just claim any amount of my bank account!   My theory is that they were testing the water and getting ready to withdraw larger sums.  Everyone should report this scam to their banks, immediately, and then follow up with both the BBB and the FL Attorney General (info above).  Let's stop these scammers now!

BBB
http://www.bbb.org/nebraska/business-reviews/ ... ha-ne-300057748

They are taking money from us also, I filed a BBB report and will contact my bank.

I too have been charged 4.93 in July 2010.  I have filed a complaint with the FL attorney general and am contacting my bank now. What is up with scam artists like this?

I had the same problem.  Two fraudulent charges one for $4.93 and one for $1.93 was charged by allroadslead2herellc Kissimmee, FL.  It was deducted from our Chase Debit/Credit Card account.  What bank do you use? I am attempting to determine where the breach came from.  I looked up the company online. The Management for a AllRoadsLead2here LLC on the Florida website is Mark Warthling 3819 Shoreview Dr. Kissimmee FL 34744.  The registered agent is Corporation Service Company 1201 Hays Street Tallahassee FL 32301 US. I would imagine it is the same company or someone using their company name without permission. I am filing a consumer complaint with the Florida Attorney General's office. They have received calls regarding the company, but evidently not a large enough amount to institute an investigation. The link for consumer complaints is http://myfloridalegal.com/pages.nsf/Main/60FD9BD8FA71A5B185256CD1005EE5C5 . Banks should only be able to charge accounts if a bricks and mortar address and valid telephone number is used by the charging company.

ALSO HAVE RECEIVED THREE CHARGES... HAVE LEFT MESSAGES ON THEIR LINE THAT MY BANK INTENDS TO FILE CHARGES..

I just discovered two fraudulent charges for $4.93 over the last 3 weeks as well and located your blog when researching the number.  I have canceled my debit card, and have had no answer to the phone calls I have made.

i was also charged by this company 2x this month. i will report it.

I have the same problem, they are charging my debit card.  And my wife and I are not gamers nor do we rent games.

Allroadslead2here.com is definitely a scam.  They have somehow gotten my debit card # and have run two charges for $4.93 ea. over last 2 weeks.  I've reported this to my bank and will get the $ back but hope these thieves can be caught.

Help..What did you guys do?  I am getting charges as well!

I'm glad these notes have been posted here because I, too, have had deductions from my checking account from this company (?) I've never heard of.  How do these people have our bank numbers so they can randomly withdrawn money from our accounts?  That is the scary part to me, and isn't it illegal?
