Credit Card Charges

Tweet

We've been having trouble with one of our credit cards recently. I check our statement carefully every month and question every charge. I saw a charge on our statement and in the pending box for online sites. They were made to my husband's card. The name of the company was a dot com company which I looked up online. They are a subscription service (third party) company. They have a customer service number right there on the page and they answered the phone immediately. The representative refunded me the charge on my statement and the one in 'pending'. I phoned my husband to tell him to cancel his card. Right before my eyes while I was talking to him another charge for the same company popped up in the 'pending' box. Wow! Just wow! Unfortunately my husband had to cancel his credit card for the second time this year. The charge that came through today was not showing up at the website's accounting department (I called them back) as yet but they denied the transaction. This is so frustrating for my husband because now he has to wait for a new card to be sent to him. He rarely uses his credit card so the fact that someone was able to get to it boggles my mind. AND he doesn't do much of anything online. The only charge on his card that was made online was the airlines for our trip this summer to see his family. I don't know how these people do it. Like I said, it was a subscription site but judging by the name it seemed to me that it might be for online gaming or maybe a dating site. I don't know. It's a third party and they were unable to tell me what the original company being subscribed to was. Check your statements carefully, folks. In this day and age where prices are skyrocketing and money is limited, people are finding illegal ways to get money. I am still stunned that while I had my bank account open another charge went through right before my eyes. I guess I got lucky there.
