Same thing, same number, same amount 69.87, same place Beaverton, OR
Happened on Oct 10th 2012. Capital one, called us, took off the charge
and canceled the card, and issued a new card.

Same amount, $69.87 from ELC as recurring debit card transaction. This would have been taken out every month if I didn't cancel my debit card. Now noticed another charge for $2.50 from a week or so ago from FFBSupport.com. Related? I don't know. I hope they get these people.

I have been working with my credit card company on another set of fraudulent charges from ANSJSUPPOFT.COM so I was monitoring over the weekend to make sure they were resolved. They were but guess who charged me overnight for $69.87? You're right; BILL PAY 888-5066143! I am disputing and cancelling the card!
| Pamela 2012-12-02 17:28:46 Unknown |
Also got billed on my credit card and have no idea where it is from. Credit card comment is "Business Services Not Elsewhere Classified (??!!@#!)

Same thing $69.87 charged to my account at 5:30 am today Credit card company caught it and called. I had to cancel the credit card.
| Rick 2012-11-26 22:44:50 Unknown |
Yup, it's a scam. I got the same amount billed (69.87 from ELC) and they immediately offered to refund the entire amount. I'll watch and see if they really do. The guy acted like he knew he was going to have to credit it back as soon as he started talking to me. Scammers!
You know probably only 1 in 5 actually notice it on their statement and call so they make a fortune on this scam. He said my bill was for a "website trial" but didn't know what website as they were just a third party biller. I guess they think that is plausible deniability. I said it was a scam and that I wanted it credited back.

I had the same thing happen today, it is a pending charge on my bank account. Called the 888 number and she said it was a charge from a florist in Florida. Immediately called the bank back. It seems the bank cannot stop it, they have to let it go through and then do a refund??? I wish I had seen these post before I called the bank. Makes you wonder how many go through without peoples knowledge.

There are posts from Sept. 3rd today is Nov. 25th and it just happened to me. What does it take to shut this company down? and why is it 69.87 is there some magic law that makes it less of a crime if its under 70$?
| Mark 2012-11-23 21:29:46 Unknown |
Also got billed on credit card from same # have no idea who it is
| JohnS. 2012-11-16 15:29:41 Unknown |
I noticed a charge of $69.87. The business listed was 888-506-6143 BEAVERTON ORUS. I never authorized this charge.
Called number that showed up on my account and was told that they were a third party collector but wouldn't tell me where they were located or who they were supposedly collecting for. But she quickly refunded the amount and "closed the account" with the company. Reported to my bank and cancelled my card.
Scammers.

BTW my card was charged on 11/5/12..just more FYI for y'all.
| B 2012-11-16 03:15:05 Unknown |
Have a charge on my credit card also for $69.87 thanks to you all for posting. The phone number on my statement is 888-506-6143 also just like many of you and the other phone number under the first one is 877-529-1520 just like many of you. I had already cancelled my card but apparently my bank didn't notice this one as they shut my card off because they thought a different charge of $39.95 looked suspicious wish they would've told me about this so now I called my bank and will be waiting on a call back to get this taken care of. Scammers are a bunch of losers..get a life and leave MY money alone....

Same story here...$69.87 charged to my CC on 11/6/12 by ELC. My fraud department flagged it and called me. When it showed up on my credit card statement, I tried calling the numbers and it won't even ring! So, same story...new card being issued...without CC for 2 - 3 days til they get us a replacement, and THEN I have to memorize a new number. What a hassle I hope they hang these guys out to dry.

Luckily my bank found this to be an odd transaction - same amount and charged online at 2am. They immediately put a hold on my card and left a message that this card was frozen until I called them to clear it up. They immediately canceled the card and credited me the $69.87. Luckily this isn't a card I use very often - another head's up to my bank.

Orus is a resort in South Africa. Dhl is an air freight company. Berry complete deals in vitams and
Supplements. ELC is a logo for a raft of different companies. My card carrier insisted these were legitimate.
That may be so,however the 69.87 Iwas dinged for is not. Card has been cancelled, new one has to be
Issued. WHAT A HASSLE!!!
| John Doe 2012-11-03 14:48:26 Unknown |

Must be running the same scam with all of us. 69.87 on my card. The billing company says they will do a refund. Haven't seen it show up on my card yet. Will report to my bank's fraud group.
