Received a $58.97 charge on my debit card. # searches out to Framingham Ma. Will have to dispute charge and cancel Debit Card

I received that same charge on my debit card. what did you do?

Got a charge on my credit card.

Were you able to determine if this scam had anything to do with your Shed Vac order? I want to order one but now I'm suspicious. I called 800-460-2179 to place my order but I'm not able to speak with someone live so again, I'm reluctant to proceed.

I was called immediately on Oct. 29 by Mastercard Fraud Dept. asking if I had used the card for the amount of $58'97.  They told me someone from Great Britain was trying to charge me. It was a Sears Mastercard and I had  used it a week before at Sears. I can't remember when I had used it before then. I'm in Wisconsin. No banks were involved.  I have not used the card on the Internet for anything.  The money was credited back  into my account with me not having to do anything.  Account was immediately closed and new card issued.  Masterward would not give me any more information but suggested I file a free credit report to check information on other cards history and request that telephone OK be given before any card or credit application be processed.

I was refunded from the company, to my surprise, on Nov. 9th.  I have a new debit card, didn't want to take any chances.  Hope the refund was from the company, if from the bank, they can reverse it and put it back through if they can not recover the moneies in 90 days. Good-luck everyone.

This is my second messege here. Just wanted everyone to know that they took the money from my account on the Nov. 1 and my bank West Central Bank in Illinois refunded me on Nov. 2nd. Had to cancel my debit card what a hassel! Still waiting on it. I notice that the company who took my money in the first place refunded me so the  bank then took their money back. Don't know what happen or who these people are but they still need to be arrested!
Glad to have my money back! Wish my card would hurry up!

I seemed to have been reimbursed by the wonderful company who took the funds to begin with.  At first glance of my acct, it looked like the credit union refunded me a second time, but looking closer, I believe it was the company.  Then of course, the credit union took back what they had refunded me.  It's rather interesting as I closed the debit card down last week, so don't know how the company was able to refund my card????  Anyway....I am even now..and still waiting for my new debit card.  Frustrating, I know.

THE SAME HAPPENED TO ME ON 10/29. BUT TODAY I HAVE ALL BUT .94CENTS REFUNDED FROM THE SAME PPL THAT TOOK IT OUT OF MY ACCOUNT. membership fee. SO I CALLED THE BANK AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HAPPENED. THEY WERE GOING TO REFUND ME ON FRIDAY CAUSE I DISPUTED THE CHARGE AND I HAD A 10 DAY WAITING PERIOD. WHAT YALL THINK IS GOING ON? HAS ANYONE ELSE BEEN REFUNDED?

Same thing -only I was credited a few days later-I cancled my card to be sure

You may have seen my name on here earlier. Got this fee on my account too. My bank did reimburse me and put on my account fradulent charge. Went online  this morning to do some banking and i have ANOTHER charge from the same company. Now I have to close my account and open another one. Needless to say will be on phone all morning to take care of automatic withdrawls form my utilities. Who are these people and i would like to know how they got my bank info in the first place.

I got it on Nov. 1st. It was still pending when I called Associated Bank. I told them it was a fraudulent transaction, but they still processed it. Now the money is gone! It was a Master Card debit card.

Happen to me as well.  Don't know what to do about it.

Got scammed for $58.97 on October 29th. Came to my attention when I went online to look at my bank statement Friday evening. Was really shocked and have no idea how this came about. Membership fee and I haven't joined anything. Traced charge to wife's debit card today and my bank is working on the matter. Would be great to find out who is responsible for this. Did not realize that so many others have been swindled and I hope whoever is doing this receives justice for stealing. Shame on you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I used a service to do a reverse phone number look up,   All I got was the companys name, no name of a person or address just Grand Service for the business associated with the number.

same thing happened to me, going to my bank today and discuss

I agree that God will not let people get away with wrong and it will be exposed, but He will not strike anyone with cancer or any other disease. And yes this happened to me and my bank is great about helping and have removed the charges pending investigation. God is not evil!

Woodforest is open 7 days a week. So no not all of them were closed, mine was not.

The fraud # for Mastercard is 1-800-300-3069   8-4:30 central time are their hours.  I too was hit this past weekend.  I have registered a complaint at "www.ic3.gov"  I believe it is connected to Mastercard because of the common thread.  I also did a free credit score that did not work, I called the company and made them aware that they may have a leak in their system.  They connected me to quality assurance and took the 1-800
# from me to do their own investigation, I don't think the leak is from their end.  I also shopped at Walmarts this past weekend, I think their corporate offices should be made aware of the common thread also.  Don't let any stone go unturned.  We have a voice.

I got hit with the same exact charge over the weekend. Charge Date: 10/29/2010    Post Date: 10/30/2010     MBRSHIP FEE 800-934-4751 GBR    $58.97

My card is an HSBC Bank Credit Card known as the Best Buy RewardZone MasterCard. I have used that card everywhere I can think of, physically and electronically... including Amazon and I have my Netflix automatically withdraw from that card as well. I am in Rhode Island. I do use Facebook as well.

I was shocked, and for some reason slightly relieved when I Googled the phone number and found this thread... I simply used the "dispute charge" link that is at the bottom of every single charge listed in my online statement. I hope HSBC and MC get to the bottom of this... I can't believe this is possible!

Whoever did it is swimming in riches right now... If they took that amount from every MasterCard across the USA, then they're totally big pimpin' now... and some people got hit twice or more for varying amounts!!

No I don't so far I think the processor someone mentioned is the most obvious link.

Same thing happened to me. Does anyone belong to a rewards program associated with mastercard? This may be the link

I don't have another number but after we find out how our information got out we should all band together and sue the processor or business responsible. Even when we're refunded our funds the inconvenience is the issue.

I don't think it was because of Walmart. I think like some of the others here that the processors or mastercard them selves got hacked or someone sold our info. Same thing happened to me and am now in the same boat with ya.

I just got off the phone with Mastercard and the lady played it off like it is not their problem. They said it goes back to the bank. I find that hard to swallow since it has been so many different banks and credit unions. I called my bank and told them what I was told. They said that the processor for the issuance of debit cards is some how connected with Mastercard. Anyone here have a different # for Mastercard that I can try???

Hit my CC too.  Same exact senario.  Contacted CC and had to write a letter to file a dispute.  Unauthorized charges. Will see what will happen.  CC company will put the amount on hold after receipt of the letter and during their investigation.

I also lost $58.97!! I'm out my debit card for 7 to 10 days and it sounds like it is all because I made a purchase at Walmart last weekend...thanks alot Walmart, way to protect your customers!!!!!

I called my ATT. General Office, it is Grant Customer Service/GBR. We need to flood the Att. Generals Office with complaints! to put these people behind bars!

I had this too - and then a day later an international fee which I never have so I'm assuming it is some company overseas.  Let your bank/card company know- I am disputing this with them as it hit my cash card.

I called the FTC 1-800-382-4357
Spoke with a very nice and helpful woman.  She gave me a reference number and told
me to call my bank as I have a Mastercard Debit through my bank, to see if they can
reverse the charges and find out any information on who the payment was sent.
If anyone finds out any information on this bogus company please call the FTC back
and give them this information.
Good luck to all.....as everyone else I cannot afford this thievery!!
