I received the following pending transaction on my debit card:
Checkcard j2 *jconnect serv 323-817-3218 ca debit on 08/22
As I have never heard of this company, I called the phone number (which was obviously over seas). When I mentioned that I had never heard of the company and insisted they remove the charge the CSR immediately began a sales pitch (though it may have been a language barrier).
I called back and asked to speak with the management. I was handed to another indian, who asked for my credit card number. I refused to give them my number as they are obviously NOT a legitimate business.
I immediately reported the card as stolen. The next step is to involve the authorities.
My suggestion to other who experience this is to cancel the card immediately and get your bank involved in a fraud case against them.
