I don't suggest that you loan money to family members under any circumstances. If you wish to give your mother a gift, by all means, do so.

The 80068 sounds like the beginning of a toll free telephone number, which you should be able to get in full from the issuing bank.  If you're the only one with access to the card and you didn't authorize the charge, file a dispute.  It certainly has a ring of a scam, or at least some less than scrupulous behavior.

That stuff is listed in phone book; as long as you didn't give out info like ss#, bank accts., credit cards, you will probably be okay.  If you are that concerned you can call one of the credit bureaus and ask what their policies are on unusal activity regarding your credit.  If you report it ahead of time this may help you with any liabilities in the future.  Good luck.\n\n I hope you didn't give any bank info to this man.  If so, call your bank tomorrow and explain situation.  Cancel acct. and wait to reopen a different one till you call soc sec..  Call soc sec. office and explain what happened and that your # and info may have been compromised. They will probably have a new one issued to you.

Credit card companies protect you against fraud if someone steals your credit card information.  I've had it happen, and both Mastercard and Visa were more than happy to cancel the charges and investigate the crime. \n\nShopping online is safer than giving your credit card to the waiter at a restaurant. They dissappear behind a wall for a minute with it and who knows what they do with it.  If they are honest: nothing... if they aren't:... you get the idea.\n\nShopping online is very convenient as long as you don't mind waiting for shipping.  I never buy electronics locally if I can avoid it because I always get a better deal online than anything available in this city.\n\nSome useful websites for shopping online:\nhttp://www.pricegrabber.com\nhttp://www.pricewatch.com\nhttp://www.dealtime.com\nhttp://www.ebay.com

Yes, unfortunately this can happen - although if they're a reputable company it's extremely unlikely.  I know a number of people who have had this happen at hotels, car rental companies, and strangest of all, a restaurant which they visited for a meal, paid by card, then a year later the same amount was debited by the same restaurant on the same date.  I'm sure this particular one was just a glitch, but regrettably there is often a more sinister motive.\n\nHowever, most credit card companies are fairly pro-active in dealing with complaints of this type (at least in the UK).

That is definitely considered fraud.  And if you know about it, then you are an accessory to fraud.

If in the U.S. you can put 90 day fraud alert w/ any of the credit bureaus. They will notify other major bureaus.

these so called fraud protectors are a waste of time and money!  these credit card companies are supposed to do this service for you for free.  You will know if your card was not used by you or with your consent because it will show up on your report.  the companies should repay you for this also!  They may close the account and reopen a new one in your name with a different number but that is better than paying those rediculous prices for this protection.

Eeeeek run from that card as fast as you can!!!!!\n\nSeriously, do not activate that card. \n\nMake a copy of the card and then cut the card in half. Write a letter to them that you did not request the card and that you do not want the card. Tell them that since you are refusing the card and returning it, that they CANNOT violate your rights by placing anything on your credit reports. Be sure to include the cut up card in with your letter.\n\nMail it certified mail return reciept. \n\nKeep a copy of the letter and the copy of the card in a file. When you get your green card back from them, keep that with your file with the copy of the letter and card. Paper trail, paper trail.\n\nThen, keep a strong eye on your credit reports to make sure that they are not reporting!!!\n\nI am including a couple of links that may better prove what a scam that card and the company that sent it is.

You talking about the ones your credit card company sends you?  SHRED THEM!!! They are checks to access your credit line and they bend you over the barrel on the interest.  Seriously they are a terrible idea.  But you need to dispose of them by shredding.  These are gold to people looking to steal identity and access your accounts.

It has been a few years since I worked with an online credit card account.  However, what I remember is this:  The processing is actually done in two steps.  1) The verifying --Verifies that it is a good card, and that the amount of the sale is available in the account, and  2)  Settlement -- Settlement is when the "charge" actually happens.  I actually had to go online and select the transactions for "settlement".  This was because we were not allowed to charge the card until the product shipped.  So, I suggest that there may be a way for you to verify, but not settle.  It may be that you could void the transaction as soon as it was verified.  That part I'm not sure about.  You may also be forced to verify with an amount.  You could use something nominal, say $.50.  Again, you would then need to void the transaction.

Not sure how you would do this, but could you do a background check on yourself to see if there is anything there incorrectly?  There are tons of cases of credit reports being flawed.  Isn't it possible that a background could have false information in it?\n\nIf they found something, they certainly should have told you.

you already have proof of his illegal activities in the form of your parents' credit card invoices. If he is making unauthorized purchaes, it is theft, credit card fraud, and uttering a forged document, or any combination of the above, and maybe a few I'm unaware of. Simply highlight the suspect purchases, notify the bank who issued the card, and notify the local Police and or Magistrate that you wish to press charges for the unauthorized use of the credit card. Best of luck to you.

I hate to say this but I don't know myself but whomever they are, I think they are trying to rob me. I didn't sign up for anything from that "company" and just recently I saw an attempt to withdraw $159 from my banking account. Since then I have been searching for the company and location and names but I haven't found anything yet. If I do I will be sure to pass it along to you and anyone else that has had problems with this "company."
