I, also, had a charge of $4.95 by Bennu Technologies, LLC on 2/29.  I just happened to catch it online when I was paying my credit card bill.  My credit card is, ironically, Bank of America.  I called them and they took the charge off my bill but, at the same time, I told them that BoA was mentioned several times on this site and that it better not be a leak at BoA because this is the third fraudulant charge on that credit card and, as a result, the third time I've had to change my credit card number. What a pain!

same thing...showed up as 9.60 on my bill on 12/24/07 although it appeared to have been initiated on 12/21/07. On phone with bank right now to get the charge credited and have new debit card issued.

I got nailed to on my account for $9.60 on Jan 24,2008,(World Wide Services out of CA). I called got a recording from a guy with a accent.Called my card company. They didn't call me it just appeared.I'M A NERVOUS NELLIE so I'm careful,but they some how got me.

Ditto Amy. Have no idea how they got my credit card number. Fortunately credit card company sent me an e-mail alert for a non-swiped transaction. Immediately disputed. 2d time this has happened with this card. Will close this account tomorrow.

Amy, you did all the legwork, and you should contact the Atty General's Office in both your state and in NJ to report this.

......further - it appears so far to me to be a leak at B of A. I have never used this card. Only place it could have come from is B of A.

I also just got a charge on my Bank of America card for $9.65 from World Wide Services date Jan. 29. I contacted the cc company to dispute the charge and told them about all the complaints posted for this company.

Hey, I just checked my debit card transaction and Bennu Technologies, LLC showed up.  I have never heard of this company and have never done any business with them. I also called the phone number on the transaction and the person did sound Indian and the number does show up in NJ. He stated to email customersupport@bennutech.com I was afraid to do that since they already got me.  How, I don't know. My account was charged $4.95 too. I'm not one who uses the web for business transactions...for this reason and the one time I do this happens! This p**** me off!

They got me too! (4.95) Anyone doing PayPal? I wonder if this is an inside job of someone selling card numbers? I hope they nail these b******ds!

i got a debit card charge from Bennu as well, but it's not for the listed number on this website....it's new number is 973-944-3970. like the many other people that are complaining, i also do not know this company or the reason they would charge my debit card $2.95....i don't even know where to begin protecting myself from any other charges that might occur without my permission.....this is baffling and very upsetting!!!!

I just found a charge of $4.95 tonight in my account, March 4th. Son of a b***h. I'll fix it in the morning.

I got a charge on my account on 3/11/08 for 4.95. I have no idea whose these people are and when I called I got a recording that told me to direct my inquiries to their website. The voice on the recording was Indian, I have no idea who they are. I had to cancel my debit card and order a new once, I know it was only 4.95, but whose knows how many times they would try to put it through if I kept my card. What a pain in the butt.

Telephone number seems to be registered to "World Wide Services."  I was first told they are an office supply company and then told they were an online toy company.  There website is "goworldwideservices.com."  I visited the website.  It looks very similar to the ones shown on Dateline's special about credit card and identity theft scams.  Has anyone else seem this info pop up on their cards?

Same story - it was a bank of america card....

I just had a charge in the amount $4.95 appear on my account was about to over look it but I know I didnt order anything from that company... I contacted my bank they are gonna give me a credit. Have any of had them try to post more than one charge? I never recieved a phone call the charge just appeared as a POS transaction...

I also had a debit show up on my bank balance for $4.95.

I just had a charge of $6.95 show up on my Wells Fargo card from Bennu Technologies LLC...I have no idea what this is and will be calling my bank first thing in the morning to dispute this charge and change my card number.

Just got hit on 4/12 by Bennu Technologies LLC / 973-944-3970 NJ on my BofA Visa card. Talking with BofA now -- gonna cancel card and Fraud Investigation is going to call later.

ARGH!  Bennu got me too!  Wasn't a BoA Visa card... but I do have one of those... interesting...

Bennu charged my checking account $4.95 also. My bank is local but it looks like with all the bank of america accounts that they hit, the bank would try to find out where all this money is going. It has to be costing the bank alot of money if they are putting this money back in the acct holders acct? Why cant they find out where this money is going? There has to be a bank acct somewhere that is receiving all this money.

I just noticed a charge on my Visa from this exact company and phone number. It was charged to my card on May 1. I haven't called the number but it's the 973-944-3970 in NJ. I called my cc co and I have to go through the whole disputing process but I did have them close that card and issue a new one. I have not done any business with any of the companies mentioned in the posts here so I don't know where the cross-over would be. what a mess this could potentially be!

I just got hit yesterday for $4.95 from Bennu Technologies, LLC on my National City Visa check card. Had to close out account and bank is going through disputing process. I also have not done any business with the companies previously mentioned but did do a paypal transaction about two months ago. I fit wasn't for this thread, I would have proably never followed through with it since it was for such a small amount. So thank you, to all who have reported this.
BTW, I tried calling the 973-944-3970 number and I get a recording saying that my call can not go through at this time, please try again.

I got charged 4.95 on a card I rarely use from Bennu Technologies LLC. It was a 'manual entry' according to my CC company. If someone wants to get an attorney and sue these a**hole, I'm in.

Myah -- did you purchase from Philip Noel online?  That's the only online thing for which I used my Visa.  The other alternative is that it is someone at my bank, Bank of America.  Is that your bank?

"866-395-6994" - this number showed up on a credit card transaction.  Called the number.  Got an American ring tone, silence, and then an international ring tone.  This is almost certainly a scam number.  Would encourage folks to report information.

same exact thing just happened to me

Same as Mike on Dec 10th. The charge showed up on my bank statement on the 12th of December. I hope someone catches this POS and drills a hole in their fingers.

Careful going to their sight, I had the California Attorney General check it out but my curiousity got the best of me, their disclaimer stated that they record all hits and ip addresses...also they set cookies so be careful....these a**holes are making a lot of money and fast....how are they getting debit info...someone needs to hack them back and get their info...forget drilling holes in their fingers...cut their f***ing hands off....this is worse than the original Nigerians scams because they are privy to some pretty private info

A bogus charge appeared on my credit card statement as WORLD WIDE SERVICES 866-396-6994.  No one in the house has any knowledge of how or when this scam was perpetrated.  To me, the phone companies and credit card companies have left the barn door open, and they need to step up to the plate and close the loopholes.

The same thing happened to me. There is a debit on my account for $9.65. The charge appeared on 12/24/07 as World Wide Services with phone number 8663956994. I also tried to call and no one answered only silence and what appeared to be some rings.

The exact same thing happened to me. There is a charge on my debit card for $9.65. It posted on 12/26/07, but was initiated on 12/24/07. I called the number listed and it rang twice, then silence, then a long beep (like an overseas number). I didn't wait around to see who was going to answer and hung up immediately. I almost didn't question it due to the small amount, but when I Googled the number and found this information, I knew there was a problem.
