Had the same problem with WORLD TRADE, had the bank reverse the transaction and canceled the card.

Well,

I haven't recieved any calls, thank GOD! However, these people charged my bank card. It appears as WORLD TRADE 800-551-7109 CA. I'm from TX. I have no idea what it's for. When I called, a recording says, "no one can take your call right now. Please leave a detail message & we will return your call." How can I find out who it is, if you one is available?

Got a transaction of $9.65 from WORLD TRADE on my Visa credit card, about two weeks after purchasing a DVD from online store in California!  Called my bank and reversed the charge.

This company has not called me but when I was looking at my checking account online statement there was a charge for $9.75 from "WORLD TRADE 800-551-7109 " as the transaction description.  I have no idea what this charge was for or who this company is.  I just tried calling the phone# and it was a recording saying "we cannot answer your call right now but please leave your name, phone #, and a detailed message and we call you back"  
Dose anybody know what this company is or what the charges are for?  

Just to cover the question that mad at thieves had - I have never rented a movie at one of those movie cubes (or ever rented a movie with this card anywhere).

I just realized I have a charge from the same phone number from World Trade, CA.  It is on a credit card I rarely use.  My best guess is they got my information somehow from one of those DVD movie rental cubes because that was my last charge from the past several months.  Anybody else use the same card that was charged by World Trade to rent a dvd at one of those moviecubes?

Maybe they don't want to waste their time with calling someone who they don't know who won't explain the nature of their call. Maybe you don't mind returning vague, random calls, but that doesn't make you brave - stupid maybe, but not brave.

Just started to receive calls from some Ken Hughes - a debt collector - trying to collect a 10 year old debt. I heard they are buying bad old debts and then trying to collect on them. Called me before 8am. Now the number is blocked! I love my phone.

A collection Agency. Called numerous times. CLaiming to be lawyers, claiming to be Bank Representatives, Claiming to be with different companies.. scumbags should be arrested.

the caller left a reference number and asked to call back. seems like a collection company to me. the message was addressed to an unknown person though..

CALLING UNDER DIFFERENT NUMBERS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEIR PROBLEM IS I PAY MY BILL.

These folks took a small amount of unauthorized money from my bank account using my debit card and zip code.
I reported is as what it is Fraud.  Too bad no one does anything about it other than simply give your money back and move on.

refered to as World Trade illegally used my credit card!! this was the number with the reference from my credit card statement!!

Repeated automtated calls requsting someone who does not live at this address and phone number

I had my bank account charged as well.  Please let me know how I can get in touch with a person from this company.  This type of criminal activity shouldn't be allowed and I'm prepared to take legal action.

Ooh, good thought that is one place that I do frequently use my debit card when I do use it, is at our local Walmart.  Again the last time that I used it would have been in July and in June.  June in Idaho and July in California.

I just went through that with my bank where my picture is on my debit/visa card.  I am in the process of waiting to receive my new card.  The suggested getting a new card, because of the fact that since they used it once they could possibly use it again.  The draw back is that any automatic debits that you have coming from your account that utilize your debit card will have to be informed of your new card number.

Mine was not through my credit card it was from my debit card and my bank is BofA.  I have no collections or bills overdue.  I have good credit and all my bills are current, so I really don't believe it is a collection agency.  Even if it was they wouldn't bother with such a small amount and they do not have the authority to remove funds from your account without a court order, it is against the law.

Really, I am sorry to hear that.  I've never received one call from them and yet somehow they were able to get my information and remove money from my account.

You received calls from them?  Who were they?  What were they calling about again, collections?  Did they say where they were located?  I've never received any such calls and yet they apparently got ahold of my debit card information.

I've also been hit.  They hit my checking account using my debit card number, that I also rarely use and have not used since July 2008.  This account is primarily used for routine purchases. So what is up when I tried to report it as a fraud to my bank they felt that I must have given the number out.  I have never had any dealings with this company and as like the rest of you the bank and I have been unable to get a response from this company.  I know nothing of them.  Should we report them to the BBB or what is my question.  Where do we go from here?  The number now says that is no longer in service.  My transaction apparently took place around the 20th of August and was taken out of my account on the 22d.  My heart goes out to the rest of you.  At least my bank has returned my money thankfully thus far it has not been alot of money, but have they stolen our identities as well is the questions, because my debit card has my picture on it and at the time of the apparent use mine was in my possession 250 miles away.  So how does that happen the bank claims that the purchase was done on site, but what is the address I can't find that.

No I do not use netflix or the redbox- I never use this, it is a card i have just incase. So i dont know how they got my info. If any of you find out more info, please let us know. Thanks.
Hopefully they will catch this crook soon.

I had the same thing happen to me- same amount taken off and the number was bogus as well. Something needs to be done! Who knows how many accounts they have taken money from and the people have no idea. And none of the banks have any info on this so called company- they are in the dark like the rest of us!

I logged into my account today and on the card i never use there was a charge for 9.65 from a company called World Trade and a bonus #. I searched the internet for this so called company and nothing! So i put in the 1-800 # and I found all your comments saying the same charge was made to all your accounts. This is so wrong! How did they get our info and how is it possible for them to get away with this and be untraceable? Did anyone else find out how to get in touch with these crooks? I did not recieve a phone call- i just had a charge on my account.

I have a charge on my credit card for 9.65. You can't believe the trouble I had to go through to get this off.  
Everyone should double check their statement!!

I did not get a phone call.  I got a $9.75 charge to my checking account.  I know that I did not make a purchase yesterday and when I looked at the card reference number, it belonged to a debit card that I destroyed after I got married and changed my name.  I have no idea where they got this information, but it is very scary.  I called the refernce number on the account and all it did was ring and ring and then go dead.  It is sad to see so many people having problems.  These folks need to be stopped.  Hope something can be resolved.

I actually used mine at one of those Redbox things at McDonalds.  My charge for that went through Houston, TX which I am nowhere near.  I'm sure that's the headquarters but was wondering if the information is being picked up somehow in Houston.  I don't know how else they would have got my info.  Haven't used that credit card in a long time (over 2 months) and that charge showed up the next day on my statement.  I'm currently in KY if that helps geographics of where possibly this could be coming from.  Anybody got any ideas?

I work at a small town bank and have had some customers complain about this charge on their debit cards.  Its always around $9.00 and the same 800 #.  All of my customers use the net flix machine at the local wal-mart and I was wondering if any of you have used this machine as well, because this is the only common link between my customers.  We are just trying to figure out how this company got their information.

I just realized I have a charge from the same phone number from World Trade, CA.  It is on a credit card I rarely use (Visa issued by US bank).  My best guess is they got my information somehow from one of those DVD movie rental cubes because that was my last charge from the past several months.  Anybody else use the same card that was charged by World Trade to rent a dvd at one of those moviecubes?

I received the same unauthorized charge of $9.65 in my checking account earlier this month.  I assume it is from my Debit/Check Card account number since it is tied to my checking account.  I plan to report this to my credit union as fraud (which I should be reimbursed for).  Unfortunately, I'll probably have to get a new Debit/Check Card (with a new number) to ensure this doesn't happen again.  I believe they obtained my number when I used my card at a store or possibly online (not sure which).

Hey guys! Let's find the source of the problem. What is your card issuing bank? TD Bank North?
