Anyone with experience with this?

Posted: Oct 23, 2015

Last month, someone charged 300+ in nutrition products to my charge card exactly ten days before it expired, then a few minutes later tried it again. The card company noticed it and texted me. I told them that I did not make the charges, so they charged the first one back to the nutrition products seller and declined approval on the second one, and cancelled the card.

The online seller, a fitness company, has now submitted their evidence. They claim I bought it and they shipped it. Two cases of cocolate protein shakes. On it is my card number with the correct expiration date, but the cardholder information and shipping address is for a woman in my state, but in Middleburg, FL, a few hundred miles away.

I thought that would have been faked, but when I googled it, there she is, names of relatives, age (mid-30s), facebook page and all. Three cute kids, nice 2,000+ sq ft house on google earth (neighbors have pools, but she doesn't, surrounded by woods, and she really needs to pave that messy driveway), two cars, and pictures galore of her Christian church activities. Yep, church activities. Her favorite book is the Bible and she loves Nutrisystem and going on Carnival cruises. Her favorite game is Words with Friends. The Duggar family is mentioned in her favorites about 20 times, along with her dentist, her pediatrician in Orange Park, her Asperger's child, golden retrievers, her grocery store (Publix), and her church (First Baptist Church of Middleburg). Also Dunkin' Donuts, which is probably the reason she needs to love Nutrisystem and use my credit card to pay for her cases of Shakeology Chocolate.

Anyone had this happen? Any explanation for WHAT happened? What would you do?

The card company said not to worry. I am not liable, but have you ever heard of this?

Oh, and just to add ... she did this on SUNDAY MORNING, I guess before they zipped off to church.

Maybe it's time to get started on facebook. I can friend her and ask how she's enjoying her chocolate shakes.

but was never able to get the perpetrators name and address. Mine had been used four times in one day. Mind you I live in NE Wisconsin. The card was used three times in Illinois and once in Pennsylvania all on the same day. They gave me the names of where the cards had been used, but not the name of who used it. I wished they could. Of course all of the charges were declined, but one still went through my bank. the bank reimbursed me for the charge, and cancelled my card immediately. But that is not the point. I wanted to know how these people got the card number, the exp date, and the ccv #. They will not tell me that. It was a huge inconvenience for me to be without my card for almost 2 weeks, as well, as I use it for everything. I only found out about it when I went to the grocery store and tried to buy groceries with it and my card was declined!! Several hours later, I then get a phone call from the "security people" from my bank and asked about the charges. This also happened to two of my sons one month prior. Sounds very suspicious to me. I still wish I could have gotten the name of the person who used it though. You are sort of lucky that you did.

Card company thought it was skimmed at a gas station. - nm

Iowa, Illinois, Idaho, forgot now but was able to "use" my debit card. The first time someone bought very expensive cameras at about $500.00 each x2. I do good to point and shoot a camera, much less one that I would have to focus, etc. The 2nd time was for fitness equipment of about $1,000. Yep, so not me. Older female, my idea of sports is walking to the coffee pot to get another cup of java for the day. Both times saw on line, immediately went to the bank and of course the card cancelled. That is the bummer in this because having to contact all places I use the card, on line, Paypal, QVC, Amazon, just a bummer. I use my debit all the time and hate when this happened.

I would make up a fake page and only use that. You don't want this thief attacking you back.

Years ago, I must have dropped my debit card in the parking lot or something. I remember having used it that day. Someone found it and used it to gas up their car and all of their friends' cars. They spent the money in a neighboring city, which I think was one of the flags, plus multiple gas charges. They used several gas stations, keeping the cost low enough that apparently no PIN was required. A zip code was needed, which isn't too hard to figure out. Total charges were around $70 before the bank figured out something was not right, put a stop to the card, and called me. They reversed these charges and cancelled my card, issuing me a new one. I went to get a temporary and which could be used like a debit, so unless an expiration date or that number on the back was necessary, it didn't put me out too much. I was glad they caught it and glad I was not liable for it, and also glad that it was only $70. It's a lot of money for me, but glad it wasn't thousands of dollars.

I got another one of these calls about three months ago, as I guess the charges were unusual. These charges were actually legit. I am glad the bank flags these things and double checks.

It's amazing to me that this woman went and used her own home address? Is it possible some criminal just used her address and planned to collect the package from her porch or something? Very strange. What do you think the odds are that your card numbers are similar and a typo ended up leaving you with this bill? Probably unlikley. I hope to get some follow up on this one if you find out she stole your card and went and used her home address and name! :)

My aunt had some major theft happen. She just got a new card in the mail and had not pulled off the sticker. She went and bought some tickets. I guess the cashier, after seeing the sticker, knew she could easily go and buy a new TV or something. I really don't understand how the sticker is a factor, but apparently it is. I can't remember if these charges were reversed. I think she had to fight it.

He grasped me firmly but gently just above my elbow, guided me into his room and quietly shut the door. We were alone. He approached soundlessly from behind and spoke in a soft voice: "Just relax." Without warning, he reached down and soon I felt his strong hands start at my ankles, gently probing, moving steadily upward along my calves. My breath caught in my throat. I knew I should be afraid, yet somehow I just didn't care. His touch was experienced and sure. As his hands moved up my thig ...

I recently said on another board I was glad I did not have any friends because no one can say do it for the kids.

I have asked to be filled with the holy spirit. I have begged for a miracle. Not sure what else to do, but it is CHEMICAL. Has nothing to do with faith. Off soapbox ...

With the summer weather in my "neck of the woods," my feet and ankles have been swollen and yesterday I was put on atenolol, which the doc said would help with my blood pressure and the swelling. About an hour after I took the first dose, my heart started to have a "fluttery" (for lack of a better word) feeling. This lasted for several hours (even through a nap), but finally completely subsided about 6 hours after I took the first dose. I have OCD and really hate going to the doctor, and ...
