Had a charge on my card from Level Nine Inc. for $36.05. My banks fraud alert team call me as soon as this transaction posted to verify if it was legit. This card was cancelled and the bank will put the funds back in account. The tracking history for this company was given to me but they are smart to not include any address or phone number. Be aware that i use both Redbox and Amazon which is where they may have captured my card information.

THIS COMPANY IS BREAKING THE LAW. I INFORMED THEM AS A COURTESY IN JULY!  IT WAS A WRONG NUMBER CALL...Idk Daniel Wilcox. I informed they are calling a trac phone for my disabled mom and wasting her mins. Nicole decided to document DC on the call and Ana Kay called back as a mgr. saying that they had no notes from the call???  They claim it was another company...Now they call me on the number from the caller id...I'm still not daniel wilcox. STILL A WRONG NUMBER. I explained to Nicole my mom is ill and dying and she said cry me a river and hung up. This company now calls us from 877-513-9704. This company has violated several phone laws and I encourage others to contact the attorney general with complaints because these people are relentless and wont stop calling- even after told it's a wrong number.Glad I don't owe these people so if other people have the same problem -file an atty gen.complaint to make sure this doesn't continue.

FOUND UNAUTHORIZED  CHARGE ON MY DIRECT EXPRESS CARD IN JULY. CHANGED CARD NUMBER AND WAS HIT IN AUG ON NEW DIRECT EXPRESS CARD.
CALLED DIRECT EXPRESS AND RECEIVED LITTLE OR NO SATISFACTION.
NRXT STEP IS TO CALL SOCIAL SECURITY AND SEE IF THEY CAN DO SOMETHING TO HELP

T Studios/ Algonac, MS $30.68
WTF

T Studios/ Algonac, ID for the amount $31.02

I also got scammed by this company. They used the "607-524-4281" phone number though. They got me for $7.60.  I cancelled my card and they said it was a company based in CT but the phone number was from Corning, NY. When you call you get placed on hold then the phone hung up.  I've googled and can't find anything on this company other than scam reports. Also, every is saying it is "Act Sports"  mine comes up as "Just Sports" so evidently they've changed their name up a bit to throw things off. I don't use this debit card for anything. I only have this account for Direct Deposits from my place of employment. Never did anything online with this card. No stores. Nothing.

I would like to ad a little more...my mistake about Walmart..it appears only a few used them so it seems that the common factor in this is actually using your card at all or having a card on file with ANY company. The fact that some of us haven't used the new cards at all and some of the cards that are being hit are government issued cards should be enough to warrant an investigation by the FBI and/or the CIA at this point. I am a disabled woman and this is not the first time I've been scammed. I was also scammed by a company called paydayloansyes.com, however I got the last laugh on them because they deposited money into my account and were never given any permission to do so. When I contacted the bank and asked them to send it back, they refused so I closed the account, taking their money with me. They called with their idle threats about taking me to court and I told them...let's do it. Haven't heard another word from them. So I would be lying if I said it wasn't sweet justice to "pay back" some scammers. My disability check was auto deposited so I had no choice or they would have gotten that also. Now I have it mailed here in Florida but SSA keeps telling us they want to put our money on cards or go for direct deposit. How can any of us feel safe about this if no one is willing to do anything about this. If they don't have the resources and/or manpower, I will be glad to help them out. I have a lot of time on my hands and I will gladly help catch the a**holes for free. It also appears that on some of the child support cards the scammers used a different name, perhaps pertaining to children so as to throw people off. Personally, I have my cards on file with Direct TV and Century Link so with all the different companies I see listed here, I would say that it's time something was done and since maybe some of you work and I don't, I promise to do everything I can to help us all stop this. I will be contacting everyone I know. For the time being, don't use your cards at ALL..not even your new ones. I know it's inconvenient but use your checks instead and make your payments over the phone, not ONLINE. The banks are telling me that they will go after checks as opposed to debit transactions. Why, I do not know but I aim to find out. Keep in touch everyone.

I've read all the messages here and have been able to determine that it's happening from all banks so mentioning your bank probably won't matter at this point. Mine is the same story as the rest of you. This is the 2nd time I've had to cancel my card within two months and although the bank returned the 8.95 the 1st time and probably will reimburse the 8.80 this time as well, doesn't really resolve the situation. The scammers are using different phone numbers as I've noticed some of you posted different ones...the one used on mine was 607-524-4281 which when googled not only shows that it's coming out of Corning, NY but Spokeo shows the address of the "land" line supposedly. I tried to find a common link in all this and other than the name "ACT Sports", the other one that seems to stand out is "Walmart". Not sure if that's wherein the problem lies but considering that is the main place that I use my card and don't use it at all online or in any out-of-the-way places, as suggested by my bank, then perhaps that is one place where the detectives should start. The main thing is that we all need to work together in resolving this. I know that most local police won't appear interested, not because they don't want to solve this, but because most don't have the money or manpower to pursue this. Let's keep the lines of communication going on this and maybe we can all help bring these crooks to justice and rest a little easier. Another thing to keep in mind is that these criminals do have new scanning devices that can actually scan your cards through your wallet/purse and you would never even know it. They do have metal wallets to hold your cards now and supposedly these devices can't scan through metal, however I don't see how this would help if we are using our cards at places that we "trust" only to find the cards have been compromised anyway. Good luck to all of us in this pursuit to being these crooks down.

I got money taken from my account and I called and they said they had no record of it!! Company should be shut down!!

PLEASE don't put the name of your bank online. Whoever is doing this will get more information! I'm fighting for help with two different credit card companies due to fraudulent charges on each during the beginning of Feb. 2012. They won't help me find out where the charges came from. Only know that one was made for ACT SPORTS 7164049931. I don't know them, never saw their site till a minute ago when I Googled the phone number. I am going to go to the local gas station where they had one of my cards inside while I pumped the gas and to the restaurant where I used one of the cards just before this ACT SPORTS thing came about, and talk to the managers. Beyond that, the FBI need to get involved since ACT SPORTS is in NY State and not all of us are in that state - it constitutes inter-state fraud and falls under their domain.

I got charged for 9.90..Called my walmart debit card company and reported it to the bbb located on a reply on this site. Will try calling company tomorrow as it was after business hours tonight. Will see what happens..

mine was on my Walmart debit card

I had 9.90 from them on my debit card. Just found out and will call them tomorrow.

$10.60 ACT Sports in CT is what appeared on my card statement on 02/16/12.

I found this page along with the story posted at http://www.buffalonews.com/city/communities/grand-island/article717272.ece

After reading all this, of course, I called my CC company to verify any pending charges and cancel this card immediately (12:30am).  I mentioned other posts and newspaper articles about this ACT Sports scam and the guy was completely uninterested.  He quickly credited my account for $10.60 and closed the account and reissued a new card.  He said since it's such a low amount, they will not be disputing it.  Maybe they should pursue it, because while $10.60 isn't going to really hurt them, $10.60 x all the people they are potentially stealing from is a big deal!  And if nobody is actually pursuing it, I guess they win, right?

very nice because u notice alot of these complaints are from direct express cards i would be lo0oking at a direct express employee and i stated to them tonight on the phone i have direct express also

i just found the same thing on my card along with another one from hawaii

$10.10 on my credit card

I just filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission:
https://www.ftccomplaintassistant.gov/

I'm in Texas.  My Wells Fargo card was charged 9.10 from ACT SPORTS on 2/12/12.  I called Wells Fargo today (2/14/12), got sent to the dispute resolution department, and they patched the women in from ACT SPORTS (she had an accent, possibly Indian?  Eastern European?)  Anyway, the act sports women said my card would be credited back within 2 to 3 days.  Then she dropped off, and I asked the Wells Fargo woman (Erin) how this could have happened because I didn't place an order (which was supposedly for swim goggles!).  Erin told me that "what's weird is that" act sports had my name and address, they just didn't have the right email address for me.  I was like "that makes me even more concerned that they have my name, address, AND credit card number!"  Erin was an idiot, and just asked me if I'd like to sign up for identify theft protection.  I said no, ended the call, and called back for a more appropriate response - I got my card cancelled, and they're sending a new one.

I shop online at Amazon all the time, probably about once a week.  I've never used Redbox.  I recently ordered a custom Kindle cover from M-Edge.  I also pay all my bills through this card, so it's hard to narrow down what it might be for me.

They've hit my Regions acct for $7.60.  I called the bank and they are investigating.  The rep from Regions said it is definitely a fraudulent activity.  I cancelled my card and having a new one sent to me.

My bank had found this out on my bank card. I called the  bank back and had my card froze. But with all the people on here why can't this be stopped? Someon somewhere should stop this fraud. I am going to at least write a story to the local news station and see what or if they willl be interested.

Same thing happened to me yesterday. A charge of 9.40 to my debit card. Bank of america caught it and notified me to verify if I made the charge. They cancelled my card. I guess the bank will be investigating but you did the right thing by pulling all of your money out of your account.ew

just noticed a charge on my checking account for 10.50 from act sports . I made no such purchase. will call PNC first thing Monday morning. I don't Know who these pepole are but the only thing I did the the day of the theft was to look on line for various sites on caribean vactions. one site asked for my e-mail address and phone no and promised to get back in 48 hours . Well no phone call or e-mail came but then this charge came up. I don't know if they are related hmmmmm.

What BBB did you go to? I went to the site of BBB upstate Ny. They had an alert up in red with !'s about this company.  Better Business Bureau, Inc. (Upstate, NY) 100 Bryant Woods South Amherst, NY 14228 Phone: (716) 881-5222 Fax: (716) 883-5349 Web: www.upstateny.bbb.org. They also have a link to a consumer group to file a complaint with. I started a fraud claim with my bank as well as police. I was also told to contact my state attorney's office.

I was ripped off by this scam company on Jan. 17 and filed a report with the Amherst, NY police department (which is just a few miles from Grand Island, where the 716-404-9931 number originates).  They opened a complaint (number  ) but refused to take copies of my documents, telling me that I should give them to the detective who will contact me.  Of course, no Amherst Police detective contacted me. This is not a crime the police consider high in priority.  So I took the story to the Buffalo News and the newspaper did a dynamite job in reporting the scam.  A must-read:

Who ever is doing this, had purchase a bike lock from ACT SPORTS, and  10.20 was debited from my account. I called the Act Sports customer service they had my name and address. They said they would refund my money. In the mean time I had to cancel my debit card and change my checking account number. This is crazy!
I am very upset with this. Then, I've found this site and notice the same complaints.

Took a lot of research. Happened to me too. The actual name of the company is actsportshop.com. I googled the phone number. You might want to check this out from the Better Business bureau of Upstate Ny. The company is actually an over seas company posing as a Rochester or Conn. company. They are under investigation. I just got all this info today. Say the charge on my account last night of $8.70 for fishing hooks.. REALLY? File a complaint. As of right now a lot of people don't even notice the small amounts they are charging. Do some research tons of people are having the same problem with this company. Check it out for yourself then spread the word.  http://www.bbb.org/buffalo/Business-Reviews/i ... r-ny-235967293/

Didn't get a call from this company but found their number on my bank statement. Took a lot of research but.. this company is fake base is Rochester Ny. They are being investigated by the BBB right now. Check it out! If you don't want to use the link just go to the BBB location lookup put in zip code 14072 (Grand Island Ny) search for company using email , support@actsportshop.com as found on their web page and it brings them right up with bright red alert. The BBB says they are NOT in NY but are operating over seas. They also give you another link to a goverment agency to report it to. Please everyone take a few minutes to do this and nail these jerks. They are most likely testing acccounts in small amounts now ( that go unnoticed by many) and then on a larger scale coming back and hitting those accounts with much bigger $$ all within a day or two and then shut down never to be seen with your$$. http://www.bbb.org/buffalo/business-reviews/i ... r-ny-235967293/

Well they hit my CC also. Mine is Direct Express and my Social Security Disability comes on a very secure card I thought. These scammers are good. Usually pull cash from ATM to pay bills. This month noticed balance did not seem right. Went to web site for transaction history and seen where funds deposited on FEB 3 and Feb 3 T-Systems Inc, Armada,UT hit me for $48.02 and then on Feb 4 Sport 716-404-9931...ActSports hit me for $10.50.. I pay Progressive monthly and Securus Technologies on monthly basis and stamps from Jpay. I am reporting now to all who will listen...This is crazy.. Neither company ever called me just happen to notice charge on my CC transaction history..
