I noticed a unknown charge of $24.30 USD (plus a. 24 service fee for foreign currency conversion) made on 8/19/05 on my Target Visa bill, postmarked 8/31/05. It was to SARL DIFFUSNET 5315824 in 24BERGERAC, FR.
I called the Target Nat. Bank customer service # to put it in dispute, which they did. But they told me I could not stop it from being charged again next month until the dispute department completed their investigation, which might be 4 to 6 weeks. They did not tell me I could put a Credit Watch on my account (which I learned later could have been done).
Sure enough, another charge was made on 9/11/05 for $21.51 plus. 22 in fees to the same company. I called Target Nat. Bank again on 10/3/05 as soon as I got my bill, and was told I could have put a block, or Credit Watch on my account last month, so I did put it on now. Target is changing my card # finally.
Can something be done to either shut them down, or at least let all credit card companies know about them so they will not accept any more fraudulent charges? It seems like the credit companies should have a list like this.
