I just got one for this weekend and I tried calling the number and it does not pick up.  I am calling my credit union first thing in the morning and file fraud charges.  It was not a call, it was a charge that just appeared on my account for no reason.  I asked my husband and he didn't know what it was either.  It had the same phone number that everyone else has listed.  Don't know who they are or what they are.  Beware, I am very upset because this is going to cause my account to overdraw.

This is what appeared on my account
DWL*DWL MEMBER 888-438-9250 NV Date 07/10/10 Charge of $38.99

I was doing some investigating on line because apparently there are other numbers listed on line for these people.  I called 1-888-403-2136 and spoke with a representative who processed a refund request for me.  When I asked what the charge was for she could only tell me because she was in the refund and disputes dept. that I purchased something online (which I didn't).  She only asked for my first and last name, phone number and email address.  When I asked for if I would receive a confirmation email she said she could give me her name and to note the date of the call for the requested refund.  These people are very evasive and shady, I am still going to call my credit union in the morning but I wanted to give people a phone number to call where they could at least speak to a live person even though they wouldn't give much information about the charge.  She canceled the account (which I never opened) and said the refund would take 10-15 business days.  I also asked if I would receive any more charges and she assured me there would be no more.  We will see.

This also has happend to me. I had a charge on my bank account. Please beware.

Did not get a call but was a charge to my check account,

I was charged an amount of $38.99 on my card. I dont know them who they are nor did i ever signed up for their membership. Its a fraud and I have filed a complaint with my Bank.

I called the number that was in the description and got it taken care of in less than 5 minutes. Annoying, yes, but not the end of the world. I will, however, be watching next month for another charge.

Got a charge on my account.

The same thing happened to me - just got my statement from Orchard Bank and had a charge of $39.87 for July 10 - called my bank and was told it was for a store in Nevada for amunition and was manually keyed in - I was not even in Nevada on Saturday, July 10.

hi hunter, help me, you can called for me? my mail is tucacincilla@libero.it, first name fabio.
if you can because i'm italian! you say that refund me. thanks Fabio

Same here. what the hell is going on

Mine is a credit card from India. Charges incurred on 10/07/2010 which shows in Indian currency. No other details except DWL*DWL Member. And, I had to call my bank customer care and they said it was a online purchased but I conveyed I dont use that card for any purchase online. They asked me to call and report it as a fraud claim the amount back. Thanks for opening this and this info is much helpful. I will call up the number posted to get the refund and will complaint about this to my bank as well to make them aware.

Same thing as you guys, same date and same charge.  Had to cancel my debit card and then call customer service to be transfered to the fraud department.  BOA Fraud Dept was really fast and easy and they'll be pressing charges, apparently.  I hope they catch these *********.

I was wondering, are all the cards effected debit cards?  The new thing going around are hackers getting into restaurant credit card databases....

I just got charge from my card that i did not spend for it cost me 38.99 USD.trying to contact them but could not get to them..

I just called the alternate number and all i had to give was my name. It was actually very fast. They said it would be refunded in 10-15 days and they canceled whatever the hell it was that they represented. But i would do that AND report as fraud. These people are straight up criminals.

Whoever this scam artist is is a piece! I got the same charge of 38.99 and couldn't figure out what it was for. Called the first time and got the same "call back in 4 hours cause our computers are down" b***s***. After that it just beeped and hung up when i called. I disputed it as well and have to fill out a fraud form and send back. I am a BOA customer as well. Even THEY dont know what this thing is. You would think that after this many complaints, they would somehow block them from doing that. Dont know if that's even possible though. Stuff like this really makes my blood boil.

they did tha to me too....  what did u do????

THIS IS A SCAM!!!  888-438-9250 continues to drop the call automatically.  Their alter. # is 888-403-2136. If you decide to call it, they WILL do a refund 10-15 business days, however not without you giving them MORE INFORMATION such as your name, email address,...... I suggest that you by pass all the phone number whoee and go straight to you finanical institution and file a fraud claim.  Your bank will take care of the matter and may even be wise to replace your debt cards while your at it.

Dam, this same thing happed to me 'DWL*DWL Member' $38.99 charge on my B of A credit card, I tried to the 888 number would not connect called B of A had them file a dispute and suspend any further transactions(they eventually gave in and did the suspension).

Made a couple other purchases with credit card then a charge for $41.42 Canadian appeared on credit card from DWL membership.  Found this site and called my credit card company told them what happened, they will reverse it and did not block my card yet but if it happens again to call back.  If this happens to you call right away!!

This is a definite fraud...I got a charge appearing on my account for $39.87 from DWL...It was apparently done on Wed, July 13 at 3:14pm, while I was not even anywhere near a computer to do anything online.  I contacted my bank and placed a fraud charge report.  I Called the FBI and they told me to make a report with my local police dept and then make a report with the FTC 1-877-438-4338.

Waiting on the police right now, and once I have the report with them I am reporting to the Federal Trade Commission.

FYI. Every time you call the 1-88-438-9250 number calls get dropped automatically, which must mean they ran the operation for a week and have moved on....

DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE...contact the police and FTC immediately.

no I didn't buy any concert tickets. I bid on an ebay item and payed my credit card.

I read all the complaints regarding this #.Yours happened just the way mine did,contacted my c.u. and did the same thing, they will be replacing my card as well. We have the same dates and info as well as the $ amt.

Ok this happened to me too and ive filed fraud with my bank but i was also still trying to figure out how the hell this happened to all these different people with different banks all with in like less than a week long period......so i just have a question, might sound stupid but please respond anyway because i am just trying to get to the bottom of this so......Did any of you guys buy tickets for warped tour online? cause warped tour at darien lake was on july 14 and the tickets cost 40.00$ when purchased online, and all the fraudulant purchases where under 40.00$, and that seemed kinda weird.....maybe it was just a coincidence for me but if anyone else has purchased warped tour tickets online within the last week or so please respond ASAP.

I am not a BOA customer and this happened to me so everyone beware!!!

I have a charge that was taken out of my account for DWL, which I don't know anything about.  I told the Bank before it was paid but they said it couldn't be stopped but they will file an investigation.  With all the complaints I have read how can a fraudulent scam like that continue and never mind the customers word about their money the bank pays because i told them before they paid.

We also saw the charge on our checking account JUST NOW!  I can't believe this!  Same phone number where they deducted 38.99...it's going to cause our account to overdraft tomorrow...how in the he'll does this happen?  We have bank of america, too!!!!  We're going up to the bank first thing in the morning!  Who are these DWL people?????

you have to go into your local branch and print out a copy of your online bank statement. tell them this charge was completely unauthorized and you would like it to be disputed. they will cancel your current debit card and reissue a new one. That's the only way to do it. if your account was over drafted by this transaction the bank will get the over draft fee from dwl and they will lose money.

OMG! Just got charged 38.99 from DWL and bank could not research and the number was bogus so I put the number in YAHOO and came up here! Thank you so much for telling me about this scam! Now I know what to do!

I also just saw a charge for 38.99 on my account dated 7/12/2010. And have called the number and the call keeps dropping, have left message with my bank to figure out what I need to do next. Don't know what this charge and I don't know how they got our info to do this
