I got this charge for $429 from Id Safe dated 1/16 on my Capital One Bill.  Capital One said call the 888.  I called tonight at 6:45 EST 2/11 and all I get is a recording asking me to leave my personal information on the machine and someone will get back to me.

Just received a call from a company named I D Safe .... sounded fishy .... they had all my information but the wrong routing number for my bank. They wanted to give me back money that I had gotten scammed for from an insurance telemarketer ... they needed me to verify a valid account so they can put the money in. I asked for them to send me the check and I'll cash it at my bank, but they needed the routing number to verify that I was the right person they were sending the money to. I got to talk to a Senior or superisor Named "Richard" he said that I would get paid in 3 to 4 days to do a electronic transfer or ten business days for a written check. when I said I would wait ten days for the check .... Richerd said he would call me back in 10 minutes and gave me a number to call back. that was at 9:30 this morning ... it's now 1:10 ... their clock must have broken.

Hey be careful .. they are changing their tune and getting smarter ... so we have to talk and wise up too

GOOD LUCK TO YOU ALL

I had 7 charges of $429 from ID Safe in one month.  Cancelled credit card and credit card company forgave the charges.  I too had placed an order from the Shipstore.  Shipstore seems to be a common denominator.

Made a trip to NYC in December 2007 and also have a charge from ID SAFE for $429  Got me too

I also bought merchandise from shipstore using the same credit card online that has been recieving fraudulent charges every month     so  heres another vote for SHIPSTORE being the common denominator

same for me got 1st charge on 3/11 429.00 then again 429.00 and 1.00 on 3/17 with 429.00 being refunded that same day.Noted as identity protect 1-888-261-6045,line busy 24/7.On disability cannot afford this.

I had the same thing happen as everyone else. My investigator called me today and said he is turning over the information to the secret service. I have also emailed everyone I know to warn them and called my bank as well to tell them that they need to warn everyone. This is so awful. I am only thankful they did not take everything I had in the account. I am continuing to monitor my other cards as well

Citi Cards called me today. They said they found fraud on my account. a $1.00 charge from a company called Identity Protect out of Reno Nevada. Immediately after the $1.00 charge was a $429.00 charge. Card reported stolen now (day before I go on vacation) and must wait a week for the new card! Citi Cards will take care of everything (including any finance charges) associated with this fraudulent transaction.

This is not a company, it is credit card fraud.  The same thing happened to me.  They first sent a charge of $1.00 followed by $429 the next day.  I have notified my local media for a story on this.  I suggest that you do the same.  The only way to shut this down is to call attention to it.

Like everyone else, first got the ID Safe charge, $429.  Credit card company reversed it. Two billing cycles later, got the same $429 charge - this time from Identity Protection.  Cancelled my credit card.

Today, I received an ID Safe information/welcome packet from a fullfillment center in Myrtle Beach, SC.  Enclosed was an "Activation Form" requesting personal information.  The material describes ID Safe as identity theft insurance but lists no phone number, website, or address - except the fullfillment center.  The material has low production value - looks like it was run on a PC printer or a color Xerox.

The information came Priority Mail with an e/USPS delivery confirmation.  They must have spent some bucks to mail it, but at $429 a victim, I guess they can afford it.  Since it came through the mail, I filed a complaint with the US Postal Inspectors.  You can do this on line at www.USPS.com

ok, I wanted to spell card not cad. Keyboard in not working right.

Oh My God!!!! ok so I was out to dinner with my husband and tried to pay and my cad was rejected!I Called the bank right away and sure enough I had a charge for $429 and the day befor a charge for $1 from the same company Identity Protection.I live on a check to check income, meaning I am young and don't have extra cash.These people have been at this for way to long.I can not go through this agine!my bank is of no real help.Can anybody help me??

Called the number again today, shocked that anyone answered, a man picked up the phone and said, "hello?" I told him I was trying to find out why there was a charge on my card, he said it was charged for ID protection. I could hear a tv in the background. I told him that we never signed up for any thing with his company and he said we would have been contacted by telephone, which we were not. He said he would refund the fee, what was the name on the card? I gave him the name, and he wanted the last 4 digits of the card, I gave that to him also,(my card is frozen, so he cant do much more damage!)I asked him for his name, he gave me "Greg", and sounded about as professional as a 10 year old kid. I was in such shock, I forgot to ask him why the charge came out as a medical service! I think I'm going to call back and see if he answers, so I can ask him that very question.

Also, the 888-457-4304 number was based out of NV. Thinking back, I was getting charged $10.00 a month from Shoppers Discount, not realizing that it was coming out of my account every month on the 18th. I had seen it on my statement but thought it was something my husband had purchased online. Finally I asked him, he didnt know, so I called the Shoppers Discount number and was told I had enrolled in their program when I was on a website for childrens costumes. I told the agent I had done no such thing. He said he was going to cancel my "membership" and that was that. Oddly enough, that was on the 12th, and I find it odd that the fraud came out of my account on the 18th, same day as the Shoppers Discount fee was coming out. Thinking even more, the male voice that is on the ID SAFE and Identification Protection voice mails are the same and sound oddly close to the voice that I spoke to at Shoppers Discount,also, Shoppers Discount is in CT,.... east coast! Anyone else have any dealings with this place?

I was online this morning, going over my bank account, and saw a charge of $395.00 along with a $1.00 charge below that. Both came out on the 18th of March. I had the bank give me the name of the company and phone number. The name came back as "United Medical Dis." out of NV, the number was 888-457-4304, I called and the first call put me to a voice mail, just saying "customer service" and to call between 10 and 5 eastern time. The second call said, "ID SAFE customer service",the third call was, "Identification Protection Services" and to call back between 9 and 5 eastern time. Obviously its fraud, how can it be a medical company, then the number is an id protection site. I froze my debit card,my checking is over drawn. What I find odd, is that the bank told me that the $1.00 fee from ID SAFE, is when they check your account to see if random amounts of money are available. I was running the account down, to balance my books, and had just transfered funds to the checking the morning of the 18th, there was only $20.00 in it, until then. So, somehow, out of luck, they scammed my account just as I had added funds to it. Makes me wonder if there is software out there, that allows people to troll accounts to check balances, and when they find something, they go in a take it out.

Hit here too, yesterday, by "Identity Protect"

429 dollar charge on my Capital One debit card. I canceled the card and reversed the charges, still waiting for my money though. I will report back.

Oh brother, it happended again.  The name of the company changed to Identity Protect but it's $429 charged (again) on March 10th.  Why can't the credit card companies shut down this vendor account(s)?  It seems pretty simple to me.  Here is the new twist.....Today I received a priority mail envelope from ID safe (guess they need to spend the $429 on something) asking that I verify information and mail it to them.  There is a P.O. Box mailing address.  It seems like some smart Credit Card detective could monitor the P.O. ox location and catch the bad guys!  Changed Card number.  Probably changing banks too.  There is way too much risk here.

I've been hit once two months ago, then credited...just to get hit 3 times this month foe $429 each....the name has changed to idenity protect on the last two!

Follow up to Feb 15 post -

I also tried to purchase something from SHIPSTORE.COM.  Item was never shipped so on January (after waiting a month) I disputed the charge with Chase bank.  It was approximately 1 month more that the charge from ID Safe appeared.

I'm conivnced this has something to do with SHIPSTORE.COM.

A follow up to an earlier post.  I had the $429 ID Safe charge in January.  Chase bank credited my account at the time and advised me to keep watch to see if this would be a recurring event.  Sure enough, on 3/10 I got another $429 charge, this time from a company called Identity Protection.  No phone number was listed this time.  Chase cancelled my account and credited the disputed charge.  Perhaps just a coincident, but like an earlier poster, I also have done buisness with a company called shipstore.com.  Similarly, I never received the merchandise and had to work to get a credit.  But that was over a year ago.  I got the feeling they were more screwed up than fraudulent.

They have charged my card three times.  I have gotten my two credits from my CC company.  Now they are going by the name Identity Protect.  I'm calling the FBI. Why should I have to spend $.41 each month to dispute this fraud?

I got the charge on 3/7 at 12pm. My bank refunded my money in 5 days and I placed a hold on the account.  Today, I received a packet in the mail telling me about their "services".  A 60 minute consultation with a "counselor".  I don't use pay pal at all but I pay my bills online and I made 1 purchase online on 2/8.  I honestly think if this had anything to do with that purchase, they wouldn't have waited a month.  Possibly online bill pay?  Anyone else?

Got the $429.00 charge, called credit card company.  They new about it and cancelled the card within 30 seconds.

Also reporting fraudulent charges: 2 from ID Safe and now one from Identity Protect.  Each time, disputed with the CC company on the day the charge shows up.

For the first charge, called the number & talked to someone, who said the charge would be reversed inside 4 business days.  It was not.  Phone has been engaged since.

Anticipating another charge in a month...

usage: all over the place.  If this continues, will cancel and begin using one-use numbers.

I got three fraudulent charges from ID safe:  one on 2/8 and two on 2/16.  Regarding common threads:  it's a company card.  No paypal or geeks.com usage.  Not in NYC.  I did buy something from shipstore.com recently, which I had to put into dispute b/c they never delivered.  They're in Westport, NY. Other recent purchases: Wufoo, fatcow, usps, infinity box, fedex.com

Me too... two charges 2/7 and 2/9 429 each. Cancelled cards and telling everyone I know.
Anyone check their credit report recently?

five charges of 429 on account.  called number and it is disconnected.  Quixtar Visa that is used rarely, used recently to purchase online.  Visa company closed account and reported fraud.

I received the same $429 charge. Sale date 1-28 posted 1-29 Looking for common threads: I live in Seattle East Side, it's my company card, I traveled to NYC in December, I buy electronics on line for company use and may have used geeks.com.  I use Amazon a lot and they often push the order to other suppliers.  Disputed charge, investigation open, B of A not willing to reveal any details.

The Capitol One Fraud department restricted my card two weeks after the same ID Safe charge appeared for $429. They didn't tell me this is a well-known scam.  But it must have been because of this charge.

Found one charge on my master card, called ID safe, they said they'd refund it, instead they charged me again.  Called again saidthey'd refund both, thatwas 10 days ago, I cancelled my card the same day as the second call, I am awaiting documentation from the fraud division at CitiBank
