JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH MY BANK AND HAD MY CARD CANCELLED.  THEY HIT ME FOR 3 CHARGES,  2 IN ONE DAY   HAD MY BANK FILE FRAUD CHARGES AND HOPEFULLY WHEN THEY THEY TRY TO BILL ME AGAIN  THEY WILL LEAVE SOME SORT OF PAPER TRAIL

My bank recommended we go to out local branch and obtain a new card with a new number as this has happened to us twice now.
The bank has reversed the charges both time but still is a hassel.

This was helpfull..  I got hit with two of these.  I disputed through my cc company, they credited both then re-applied them both.  What a pain in the a**..  I just cancelled my card and have a new one coming with new disputes in for a re-credit, again...

hay they gave me my money back .............after i canceled my card ?

on Feb 10th I was charged 69.95 by Impressive...I called the bank and got my card frozen the next day and filed for a "fraud dispute"....I just checked my account and I've been given all my money back by Impressive....even though my card is frozen! Aghhh....guess I need to get an entirely new account since they still have access............this is crap.

Impressive (out of Utah) charged my Visa $69.95 on 2/9/11, then issued a credit on 2/14??  The same amount was charged by Peril Saint (out of Utah) in January on 01/14 which I disputed.  Strange that the scammer issued a credit.  Must have had a change of heart. LOL.

ditto, one credit, one charge for $69.98. suppose they are just feeling the card out before they go crazy with all kinds of charges? calling the number at 11pm "experience a high volume of callers"? I doubt it!!!

I had two charges one on 2/8 and one on 2/9.  Both for 69.95 and both posted on 2/10.  Have reported as "fraud"  to my bank.  I also had a charge of 24.95 from a "Peril Saint" on January 11, posting on Jan 13.  Both of these entities, Impressive and Peril Saint are located in Utah.  The card is cancelled and case is opened.

my card was credited and then debited for same amount - $69.95 from Impressive on 02/14/2011.

Same exact thing happened to me today, signed onto my account and noticed the 69.95 charge.  Called my bank immediately and opened a case.  Don't even mess around with calling the company like they suggest, open a case, and have your card/account number changed.  If you don't open a case and you go round and round with the merchant that charged you, you may miss your window of opportunity to open a case, then your out of luck with your bank. It's already happened to me once.

Dam, this just happened to me as well. A 69.95 $ gone 02/11/2011 > IMPRESSIVE.
Call your bank immediately, your card is compromised......

same exact thing, the only thing you can do is cancel your card and never use it on line again!!

Also replace the account because criminals can charge again or sell it to other criminals.

does anyone believe that this is linked to direct deposit of IRS tax refunds.
same $69.95 charge the same day the tax refund went in.

Happened to me too. It was my husband's debit card and cannot get an answer like the rest of you only the recording. I have left numerous messages but guess that was a waste of time after reading the other posts. Hoping my bank will reverse the charges.

I had the same thing happen. I cancelled my card and started a fraud investigation at the bank.

My itunes account was also hacked at about the same time. Someone bought over $50 worth of ipad apps and I only have an iphone. My itunes account is linked to the same card that had the charge above.

Anyone else have any issues with itunes?

These A** HOLES hit me today as well for $69.95 ! (Impressive is the phoney company name) Don't worry bout calling the number  that your card gives you it is just a front. Gives these j*** off's enough time to steal your money then their out!

Same happened to me except they charged my account twice today my bank is going to reverse the charge and I requested a new card I also got hit with another 69:95 charge from a company in new bedford wyoming on the 7th wow 210$ in one week what a blow thank god my bank is a good one beware check ur accounts I check mine often

This is a version of the automatic debit scam as described by the FTC here http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/consumer/telemarketing/tel06.shtm  It's frequently mysterious as to how they got your account info in the first place. They might be fraudulently charging accounts at random or more likely you might have given/used your account to get something in exchange for a $-off coupon,  a free something like a shopping card with a small shipping fee, etc., and buried in the fine print is authorization to auto-charge your account every month with bullsh*t difficult-to-cancel subscriptions. The methods used to get you to "agree" to the fine print is endless and they come up with new schemes every day.
To stop the billing, contact the scammer to kill the subscription and get your money back and if that fails, tell your card issuer or bank that fraud has occurred and have them refund the money and replace the account - this is important, the account must be replaced because criminals have it and they can charge again or sell account info to other criminals. Report to the Internet Crime Complaint Center http://www.ic3.gov/complaint/default.aspx , the Federal Communications Commission http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm , the Federal Trade Commission https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/ and your state AG, as appropriate.

The same thing happened to me. How do I get my money back. I ended up paying a 30 dollar overdraft fee because of this. I never authorized anything! What do I do?

Yep, the same thing happened to me. Today the $ came out of my account. I am p***** off to say the least. Have no idea who these people are and would love to know how they got my information. Hope my bank will reverse the charges as I can't afford to lose 69.95! (I have called something like 15 times to get the same message) I wonder how many people they have nailed who don't track their money as closely as we do?

i also got  this charge yesterday ........... called bank they say i have to wait till it goes through cause its only pending at this time ....called the #4 times also to hear ."im sorry, but we are experiencing a high call volume seems like a front for buying time leave your e-mail or account # "..if any one know what this is from please post it cause i would really like to know ...............

I highly suggest you all contact your banks and do a "charge back".  I just got hit with the same charge except they hit me twice already (within a day).  Their "im sorry, but we are experiencing a high call volume seems like a front for buying time.  Im betting its fraud

the same thing happened to me today also.

same here. just got it today on my account

Listed on my credit card bill as from "Impressive."  A $69.95 charge.  Called their number 3 times and got a "customer service" message saying that I should leave my account number.
