I also have discovered internet purchases on my checking account, several from registerfly.com, and some other companies, to the tune of $325. After doing some reseaching, here's how it seems to shape up... Registerfly.com (IE UnifiedNames.com) is one of MANY companies registered from overseas (India, Iran or Bulgaria?) through a company called Valis Intl., which also makes it's business out of aiding non U.S. Citizens in acquiring U.S. Bank accounts.
Some re-saler's established through Valis Intl. Appear to be defrauding independant representatives by ringing sales on stolen debit accounts, while establishing domain names and email accounts (also with stolen cc's) through sketchy registrar's to cloud the paper trail.
I'm really just beginning the process of cleaning up my accounts, have filed police report and will be in touch with the Federal Trade Commission. These guys have been at this for at least a year. I have NO IDEA how they got my credit card info, could be random # generation or perhaps they've hacked a reputable online business-unless they had help from a company which deals with acquiring bank accounts...
