On 3-19 I noticed a pending charge on my bank account from a gogamershop.cc for 10.73. I asked my family if they made any order in a store or on line. I thought my 9 year old order a game on line but she did not. I checked with my bank to start but they could not do anything till it posted. I check Gogamershop.cc and found their website and TONS of SCAM alerts on them.
I talked a lady (Helen I believe) at 651-300-0497 who stated I ordered a Playstation cover, they had my address and charged my card. One I do not own a playstation and 2 I would not buy a cover for $10. She stated she would cancel the transaction. I thought yea right, I asked for their address and they said they had none becasue they are an on-line business but I reached the call center in Minnesota...
I decided to go ahead and cancel my check card. I checked for more info on this company. I found that the URL was actually found in RUSSIA. Looks like they charge between 8 and 11 on "stolen" credit card #'s. From what I gather the #'s could have compermised possibly from Amazon. I found people who used Amazon and other places, but Amazon was the only company that I used in common.
I was able to have my bank dispute the $10 and credit back my account along with the fee for canceling my card and re-issueing. I made sure I cleared my info on Amazon also just to be safe.
