Nov 7 a charge of $25.00 was made to my Visa account by "JP Media LTD". Along with the charge on my statement their 888 number was listed. I called and asked who they are and what was this unauthorized charge for. The said they needed my credit card number to assist me further. I of course said, No, what is "JP Media LTD"? The guy on the phone stated he "has no idea, they are just a third party customer support line". I then asked, what does the company your doing customer service for sell, he finally then said, "Pharmaceuticals and access to websites via telephone lines".
I pressed for further into, he only became more evasive and said he needed my credit card number to be able to assist me further. I then hung up and began to investigate "JP Media LTD" myself, online. Here is what I found by simply going to www.netsol.com to do a "whois" on the domain name.in doing so I found a connection between www.jpmedialtd.com and another site www.eshax.com, a supposed online Merchant Solutions and Hosting company. Also with the same operating address as JP Media LTD!
After looking up the info on the two companies I also called the number listed for the registrar to both these companies domain names, Kristian Meier at 702-369-5416, I got an answering machine saying "Hi you have reached Kristian and Lindsey, we can't come to the phone right now so leave a message and we'll call you back. I did leave my name and number. Let's see if they call me back. None the less, I find this interesting that there are several "consumer complaintss" listed in regard to this company.
My bank is cool and has reversed the charge already, but I do have to go through the hassle of having my card cancelled and re-issued. I am curious, being a Las Vegas, Nevada resident, how in the hell did they get my Visa number??? I have no idea what kind of scheme or scam is going on, but I'm sure it is something illegal! I know I was only hit for a mere $25.00, but none the less this really pisses me off! Below is the info I found on JP Media and eShax online:

After doing a "WHOIS" with Network Solutions on JPMediaLTD.com I noticed the registrar's email address as [email protected] So I also did a "WHOIS" on www.Eshax.com, also a Las Vegas based company:

I also did a search at http://sos. State. Nv.Us/corpsrch.Asp to search for a business entity. I did a search on JP Media and found even more info:

Also in my findings, the addresses listed for both JP Media LTD and eShax on their websites, 2505 ANTHEM VILLAGE DR STE E #593 Henderson, NV 89052 is actually a mail box at a UPS Store!
