same here - checked the account this morning and there it was the $4.95 charge.  I have had that card "hot carded" and a new one issued.  Right now it's in pre-auth and will have to be disputed.  I have all the paper work filled out and also have sent the complaint thru the website provided in one of the already posted logs.  I only wish the coward who is doing this would pick up the phone and take the tongue lashings he so deserves.

youre an idiot. my parents were scammed. don't assume before you know the full truth.

YOURE ALL A BUNCH OF IDIOTS! MY PARENTS WERE SCAMMED!...dont assume before you know the truth! you guys are as stupid as the people who voted for our great president:OBAMA!

CHADA BALEBBEN

those people your talking about are my parents

i happen to know that wabby's and mr. sahler were themselves scamed and did not make a penny!!
the company filled a report with the F.B.I and there is an ongoing investigation.

Does anyone know if they caught those that were behing the stealing of credit card information from TJX? (tjmaxx, marshalls). Eventhough it happened quite a while back the information could have been sold to someone else. I'm just grasping at straws at this point

didnt catch the first one they did it a second time

For those perhaps like me, vainly hoping it was a one-time thing.  Just received another charge for a place called "Forms Limited" in Coral Gables.  No telephone # yet and just a temp charge of $9.85. I have now cancelled that CCd # and am getting a new one.

so all of you can go poop yourselves!
12$#$$!@%$^%&@!43%@#!4^@$%

Illinois...going to report to FBI and possibily the FTC.  unsure if it falls under that category.  will also contact MA Attorney General's office.

I've called everyone and their brother about this. I have called the news stations told every bank that i possibly could call and next the FBI. Everyone please help out and lets get these suckers. Obviously these people are getting our cc numbers any way possible, gas vacations internet ect... Everyone keep in touch on here and tell all of us what steps we have all taken, FBI, CNN or whomever. This has got to end letting someone get rich off hard working people........

Same story in Maryland.  First it was an authorized charge, so I let it sit for a few days to see if it will go away.  It was charged to my card 2 days later and I immediately cancelled my card and informed the bank.  I'm thinking that I used it a Shell station on the same day that this occured.  Anybody else use Shell for gas?

4.95 charge on 3/23  called bank and cancelled my card, turned in a fraud complaint. All the charges I see listed end in 95 cents...must be some kind of computer-generated thing.

Same here... charge for $4.95 from Wabby's.

I've seen a lot of mention of Florida in these posts.... I had my identity stolen last April after a trip to Orlando. I assume my debit card charge is related to that theft. Anyone else rent a car from Budget in Orlando?

I actually got a call from my bank regarding this charge. My charge was on 3-3-2008.  I tried calling the 413 number and got nothing, just the voicemail box. My bank has since been watching my account and has closed this card and is resending me a new one. I didnt get a phone call either-just the charge.

A $6.95 charge to Wabby's was made on my Visa Check Card on 3/21.  After checking all of my receipts to verify that I did not make a charge to any merchant in this amount, I called my bank, spoke with the Fraud Dept., and cancelled my card.  Thanks to everyone who reported this scam online.

Yep...a $4.95 charge from WABBY's on a FIA Credit Cd on 22 March.  Same telephone #.  Somebody's computer account has to have been broken into, or disgruntled emloyee walked off with acct info.  Would like to see a TV news item out on this one, or get the MA Attorney General/Consumer Affairs department going in it to shut them down.

I have the same 4.95 charge here in California, I called the back and since it is still pending I have to call back in 3 days to dispute once it clears the account, they are issuing me a new card which kinda sucks since I have several autopays using the old card number. But it is worth it, kinda scary that people can just get your information, I hate to think this but it could be any utility company that you may have used your checkcard to make a payment with. I use to work in customer service and ALL of your information is on the employees screens, please be wary about using your checkcards to pay bills or using your social security number for identification, too many crooks out there. Easy for anyone to sell your information.

Why isn't this showing up on CNN, online news sites, etc.??! What the hell?! It apparently is affecting people all over the country and the only way I found out is by doing a google search after I got the charge, and even then I had to dig deep to find out it's a scam....they do headlines on computer viruses all the time, why not this?

I think it's the mob. It's so massive, how could this be some dinky amateur?

Hard to believe but almost a month since the first post here this is STILL going on!  No wonder these people do this no one cares to anything about it!  It just showed up on my accoutn through my debit card I would think. Plain as day "Wabby's MA" and the same phone number which STILL works BTW!  Either the feds are allowing it to stay open to follow the money or I need to look into this line of work!

I got this unauthorized charge also, when I called on the week end it was mailbox full.  I later called the number again during the week and was told I just got F'd some money.  I am all for getting this scammer.

I called Vystar Cu today and had the charge disputed.  They are sending me a new card.  I was in Orlando at the time they ran it at 2:40pm EST on 3/20, I had just done a transaction at a BP/Amoco station.  Did anyone purchase gas prior to this charge?  I wonder if there is any connection to this, maybe not even an implicit connection, but maybe in how they send their data to the bank.  If it's unsecured format, someone could be picking this up via a hack and either using or selling this data for the purposes of a "Wabby".  The small amount was suspicious, was it a feeler or are they just hoping people do know not notice and they hit a bunch at one time?  Thanks guys.

I have a charge also for 4.95 on my cc. Wondering has anyone been on the equifax credit on line because this is the onle thing i have done on line???

Called this phone # today and voice mail says "if you're calling this # you've been F$%^d out of some money"...Scary!
Massive fraud going on and it looks like it's all over the country!

Andrea K, I had the free credit alerts from equifax for paypal customers that they used to offer.

Does anyone else have a identity theft watch thru Equifax?

I have also recieved a charge for $4.95 just like everyone else has. I also tried to contact the company with no results other than a full mailbox. I read other peoples comments on the name of the company paetec called them and busy phone number and can't get through. Thanks for the information, calling the bank right now to cancel my card!

Similar experience as above with a charge of $4.95.  I contacted my bank and they discontinued my card and re-issued another card.

There is no doubt this is fraud.  If you call the number now, there's an outgoing message that says "If you're calling this number it's probably because you've just been f***ed out of some money."  No kidding.  Call it!  Grrr.  

My bank just refunded my money and said they won't do anything further because the charge is too small.  I'm going to let the local media know and see if they want to run with the story.
