we also received a charge of $4.95 does anyone know who this is and how they got our information?

I did not receive a call but I did receive a charge for 6.95 on my MasterCard dated 5/10/08.

Did not receive any kind of call, but did receive a charge of $4.95 to my VISA, dated 1/23/08.  Have emailed my credit union and will call them first thing Monday AM to dispute charge.

My Dear Friend,



I want to use this opportunity to introduce myself, am Doctor Abel am from London. I want to use this little time of mine to brief you the situation at hand in my clinic. A man died here in my clinic a week ago, diagnosed with Esophagus cancer and has a kidney failure. His medical report shows he won't survive it in couple of days. Unfortunately he died from the illness, before his death I informed him about his medical report he then sent some millions of dollars to less privileges, the motherless and orphanage homes. He did this as a result of love so God will be happy with him. Then later he asked me to carry out his will after his death, and his personal attorney takes documentation of this. He mandated I do the following which I would express with you.



(A) He has in possession USD$11.4M (Eleven Million, Four Hundred Thousand United States Dollars Only).

(B) He also has his little son named (John), and he's 3yrs old.

(C) He needs a trust and God fearing person to take care of his son, along side with the funds. (VERY IMPORTANT)



He mandated I search for a reliable and God fearing citizen in any part of the world that will take care of his son, you know what kids want: love, care, time, passion, and all kinds of fun, most importantly education. And he also said once I've found the person, the said amount will be transferred to his possession which will be used for proper hospitality to his son. He gave me Nine Hundred Thousand as for my help and assistance, so I don't want to let him down. So it's left for me to confine in you that you can be trusted, doing this the funds will be transferred to your possession. The main reason why he wants his child to be taken care of was that he lost his wife after given birth to "John". What a pity for the family, he now has the son as the only family and wants nothing to happen to him.



VERY IMPORTANT (PLEASE NOTE: SEND YOUR REPLIES TO MY PRIVATE MAIL ON ***doctorabelben@yahoo.com*** SO I CAN CHECK AND REPLY YOU)



                   Regards and hope to hear from you, have a nice day

i can solve ur problem

I received a charge on my Mastercard for $4.95. Have not used the card in months. I called my bank and disputed the charges and I am asking for a new card.

Transaction Description: BENNU TECHNOLOGIES LLC 973-9443970 NJ

A charge for $4.95 from Bennu Technologies was on my credit card statement.  I've never done business with this alleged company. I am disputing the charge, albeit small... it's still a gallon of gas (so far).

I just opened up a bill for a credit card that I've had cut up now for over a year listing a charge for $4.95 to a Bennu Technologies and it listed this number from New Jersey.

I checked my bank statement online today and my account was negative.  This is an account that we rarely use so I was alarmed at this site.  When I checked the account I saw that the 973-944-3970 number was on my list along with a title beside it of Bennutechnologies, NJ.  I didnt recognize it and called my back right away. This fee was $6.95 and caused this account to be delinquent because of it and I am now being charged a $35.00 overdraft fee because of it.  I am outraged that this kind of thing can happen!!!!!!We dont use this account so I dont know how they got this debt card number.  This has to be stopped!!!!!!    When I called the number above I get a busy signal.

Hi dave,

You wrote the charge amount as £3.67. Are you in the UK and/or is that a UK card, or is it a US card with a UK originating transaction in the amount of £3.67.


Thanks

MGD

Bennu Technologies llc   wife has just been charged on credit card by these ar**holes for £3.67   $6.95 so will have to go the bank to sort out.   Wish someone would hack into them and steal all of their money.   sooner or later they will hit a major hacker who will f*ck them up good time.

BENNUTECH.COM AKA BENNU TECHNOLOGIES LLC 973-944-3970 is a fake front company that is part of a large group of fraudulent websites processing hijacked card data into cash. The operation is ran by a multi year organized crime syndicate operating from Eastern Europe.

The fake sites are set up exclusively to process stolen card data, and launder the charges into cash. The stolen funds are then wired to various banks in Bulgaria, Latvia, Kyrgstan, and Cyprus. Some of the stolen funds have ended up in the Ukraine.

This crime syndicate recruits cyber-mules either through fake job adds, or by targeting online posted resumes at careerbuilders.com, Monster, etc. They masquerade as legitimate software companies from various countries in Europe. The duped cyber-mules are then instructed to set up domestic LLCs / Corps, open a business bank account, and obtain merchant gateway processing services specifically through authorize.net. The crime syndicate manages the associated website and uses the services set up by the cyber-mules to launder hijacked credit cards into cash. Every single charge processed via these sites are from stolen card data. It is estimated that they may process 2 million cards a year, and may have 40 to 50 fraud sites operating at any given time.

If you receive a charge from one of these fraud entities, it is imperative that you report the charge as FRAUDULENT, and cancel and replace the card. They will keep charging it, also, check your prior statements for small fraud charges.

Also, please file a report at http://www.ic3.gov/complaint

BENNU TECHNOLOGIES LLC is specifically addressed on this page:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r19620593-Ebo ... Pluto~start=380 (scroll Down)


The complete story of this long running criminal organization is documented here:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r19620593-Ebo ... DigitalAgePluto

Be advised that BENNU TECHNOLOGIES LLC should not be able to process any additional charges after 06/12/2008.

Also, I see some victims may be in the military. It has been established that these criminals hacked and retrieved the card database of Rangerjoes.com customers, and processed fraud charges through severalof their fraud sites. That may be where your data came from, and is addressed in several posts here:
http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r19620593-Ebo ... filter=military

That database was just one identified source of data that these criminal's obtained, and is only a small portion of their vast card data.

i had the same thing happen, but nor sure, since my last internet orders were from sgt. grit & e-bay, but this is a definate scam that needs everyone attention!

my last order was from sgt. grit & right afer that a strange charge appeared for 3.00 on my account. i have reported it to my bank and they have no idea, the police is not interested due to the small amount. you have to keep filing complaints.

Has anyone done any shopping with a Rangers Joe?

I just got hit with this...called my bank and cancelled my debit cards.

The case isnt close, the same thing just happened to me. The only thing I would guess is that they did it to me from Kuwait were I used my debit card just once from a merchant who sold things from a table, no specific store. any ways I am looking into it and will go threw all the people I can to find this out. I will go as public as I can. Wish we could get a group of us together and track down what we all have in commen. I has to be one main source. Any more info please share, as will I.

This is a number that appears when you call from places like Iraq. I am overseas now and my wife found the charge for the 1st of June, $4.95. I never used my credit card out here. I am searching every way that they could have stolen the numbers. I will be going threw every one I can to track the scum down. I suggest that you track your files to see if there was any purchases that had to do with online, over seas, or think of a time some one may have seen your numbers.

In adddition to cancelling the card and filing a fraud report with my credit card I also reported the charge to the Federal Trade Commission. I encourage all who see this charge to do the same!

Federal Trade Commission:
visit: www.ftc.gov  or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357)

Refereneced the info on my card:
BENNU TECHNOLOGIES LLC 973-944-3970 NJ

Also received fraudulent charge on our account today for $4.95.

Same here. On 5/4/08 a $4.95 charge was placed on my WAMU card that I haven't used in months. Wen I received the statement on June 4th I immediately called, canceled the card and filed a fraud report.

Same info: BENNU TECHNOLOGIES LLC 973-944-3970 NJ

The sad part is I had to press the credit card company to close my account. At first they tried to tell me just to keep an eye out for future charges, yeah right!

5/14/08 bogus billing on my Chase credit card; $5.95 Bunnu technologies. Chase said they would reverse the charge (evidently no further follow up on their part). When asked what the appropriate agency was to deal with these techno rippers, Chase suggested Better Business Bureau! Disgusting to think there is no mechanism in place to stop this type of scam, and disgusting to think how much money these scammers are extracting from legitimate producers and enterprises.

I also had a charge from Bennu Technologies on a card I don't use. I disputed and they removed the charge. they said it was a manual entry. I hope someone sues those a***oles.

I just saw this charge on my credit card that I haven't used in months.

It showed up on 5/1/08 as - BENNU TECHNOLOGIES LLC 973-9443970 NJ DATE 04/30/08.

I will be disputing this and having a new card issued to me.

The same thing happened to me.  I do not shop online much at all.  Is someone selling credit card numbers?

Bennu Tech charged my dormant acct $4.95 and overdrew me! JERKS! Also had charges from Palacian Solutions before. Seems like every month a new "company" debits money from my acct. Cancelled both check cards today and filing a dispute.

We had a random charge last month for $5.95 from Palacian Solutions, and now today for $4.95 from BENNU TECHNOLOGIES! We are cancelling both of our debit cards and ordering new ones. What a scam!!!

Just found a 4.95 charge to my bank account, calling my bank asap.

$4.95 charged to my card as well... first time this has happened to me.. .I am assuming it was used when I made a transaction over the web...

there is a standard for credit card companies called PCI DSS that the government needs to make the law for anyone who processes CC transactions...

I found this info for the Company.  I had a charge on my account yesterday.
