I just received a call from this number but I don't answer 800 numbers.  They left a message saying I ordered fax service and the transaction didn't go through. They have free online fax numbers for sale.  I researched these businesses but never gave them my card number. The call I received was a follow up 60 days later asking me to reconsider their free 800 fax line for my business. They were reluctant to give me information on the original order although they did not have billing infoprmation.  

Having sustained a terrible blow due to identity theft in 2008, I threatened to do to them what I did to the first thief...that is to track him down and slap him into next week. Yes, the bank reverses the charges after you take a day off from work to fill out the forms and they spend the next month researching every charge.  It was the holidays and I was without a credit or debit card from Thanksgiving until mid January 2009. The thief realized I cancelled my accounts and ordered the new cards to be sent to his PO Box.

Make loud complaints if they attempt to use your cards. Never ignore those $1.00 or less charges that don't make sense.  If they get away with it the next step is to start shopping on your card.

our latest cc statement had an $.08 charge on 9/30/08 from "ALS" giving this phone number and the letters MA - I'm assuming that's massachussetts.
no further charges as of yet, and thanks to this website's comments, there will not be any further charges allowed.
thanks!

To "Texan scammed"--I don't think it has anything to do with Lowe's.  Like the Chicago victim, I have never shopped at Lowe's before.  I don't even know where the nearest Lowe's could be!  I do use my credit card A TON in stores all over NYC and other cities and online.

My guess is that the scammers used a random number generator to guess at credit card numbers, and then tested them using these small charges to see which one worked.  But who knows.

i have never shopped at lowe's before. i got charged $0.14 on 9/29/08. i found out about it because i went shopping and was going to pay with my visa debit card but it was rejected. i called the bank and was connected to their fraud dept who asked me if i had charged anything to a company called ALS. that is when i found out about all this. had to cancel my card and am still waiting for the new one. seems like much of the activity occurred in the last 2 months or so.

LOWE'S -- LOWE'S -- LOWE'S

Did anyone happen to shop at Lowe's Home Improvement (BOX) store just before these charges appeared. I have only shopped there recently and then this happens (mine was for .15). My bank said to close account and start over with new account. What a pain. This could be a class action suit against Lowe's IF they let employees have access to store information kept on file. Please reply... Thanks...

On 10/01/08, Charter One Bank debited my checking account by 17 cents for a fictitious "ATM/purchase" labeled "MMC Purchase - 999999 Als 8006043067 MA".  
I never made a 17-cent purchase with my debit MasterCard, and have no idea why the charge occurred on my 10/03/08 bank statement.  Someone is obviously committing interstate fraud from somewhere in Massachusetts, and should refund all the money stolen that way.  If it is not refunded promptly, banks should submit affidavits of fraud on behalf of victimized depositors.

I got charged $0.15 on 10-01-08. Very frustrating. I bank with Bank of America and my account was negative so $35.00!! We are on the way to the bank now to see what we can do.

Exact same story here - my visa debit card was hit with .11 on 9/30/08.  Don't let this go.  The fraud dept. of my bank cancelled the card immediately - waiting a week for a new card is nothing compared the huge amount they can hit your account with when they recognize they have an active credit card number.

Sparky-- You should definitely call the bank and dispute the charge.  By law, you don't have to pay the unauthorized $0.13 charge or the associated overdraft fee.

To the guy who said a CEO called him--What company are you talking about?  I couldn't get a hold of anyone.  (RingCentral is not the company that made the charge--they are just the telephone company being used by the scammers.)

I was charged .17 today on my credit card for this number ALS 800-604-3067 MA when I called the number it was through RingCentral. I called them gave them my credit card number and they don't have me on file. My question is how can they charge me for something I am not on file to do so. I have a charge they don't have my credit card number. I am scared and totally freak out. I am calling my bank in the morning and the police. I don't know what else to do. I hope someone does something about this or tell me and I will do it.

This happened to me too.  I called the number and it hasn't been activated yet.  I called my bank and they couldnt tell me what it was for either.  The only option my bank gave me was to cancel my ATM card and wait 5-7 days for a new one?????  I was charged .14  It was a online transaction (that's what the bank said).

I had these people charge 13 cents to my credit card.  I searched for the company online and found this number, 800/574-5290.  These people are a bunch of idiots!!  Just dispute the charge with the bank!

I was also charged 13 cents on my WaMu/Providian Visa card...  Not sure what it is.  I don't recall making any purchase like that or registering my card with anyone.

I had a charge for .16 appear on my Visa credit card from ALS 800-604-3067 as a purchase on 9/30/08. I have not purchased anything from these people.  Have no idea where they got the cc number but the bank has cancelled the charge and the credit card.

I called my credit card issuer about a small charge from this company.  I was told that it was from an online purchase from "Advertising services."  No additional information was available.  The phone number listed on the invoice is disconnected/not activated.

I suspect that this is a scammer "testing" out to see what card numbers work before making bigger charges.  I'd definitely contact your card company and have your card replaced.

It looks like people are all over the country.  Do people use particular banks?  I saw one person note Wamu/Providian.  One person said ATM card, a couple Visa.  Are there any similarities?  Did folks use their cards somewhere online recently?

I got a 14 cent charge on my bank statement, also to ALS at 800-604-3067. It's a debit card, and I've never used it, and it's been sitting in a file with other bank docs. The guy at the bank says this is a "test charge" that hackers use to verify that the number is valid. Why VISA doesn't go after these people, I don't know. The money has to go to an account somewhere, right? I just closed the card, but I did dispute the amount, even though it's small, just so the b*****ds (I mean VISA and the bank, not the hackers) would do something about it, or at least it's on record.
