Hundreds have been scammed by these people. It's sad really. I went to buy something with my debit card and computer said I had insufficient funds. I had just deposited money to my account the day before (in addition to the money already there) so I knew that something fishy was going on.
I checked my account online when I arrived at work and it turned out that the day before three charges were on my card for companies I had never even heard of!
I was shocked. I also noticed that they were all for the same amount 29.90. Strange, if my card information had been stolen I would not expect 3 identical charges. So I googled the names on the charges (shopping essentials, etc.) and there as the number two result, usacomplaints.com (good SEO, by the way ;)
I followed the editor's advice and called the bank and was very persistent about having the charges removed from my account. I was lucky in that I caught the fraudulent charges early (the day after they were made). I filed my dispute. Then I called the bank a few days later to see what the charges had not been removed yet.
They finally gave me a provisional credit (or whatever they call it) to my account in the amount of the money withdrawn. I just filled out the formal document that they sent me to dispute the charges. We'll have to see how that goes.
I cannot believe the nerve of this company Adaptive Marketing LLC!
