I noticed a charge on my credit card that was unfamiliar. When I called my credit card company they told me it was a company by the name of HMS Blue and provided the number 800-439-1795.
When I called, they told me they were a billing company and that the $8.95 charge to my card was for a vacation travel package. The charge actually posted to my bill under the name of Disc Ld. If you see a charge by a company named Disc Ld it is probably HMS Blue and beware of a scam.
I knew that I had NEVER ordered a travel package so I continued to press them for how they got my credit card number. They told me that someone I used my card with must have shared the information with them. Beware of who you use your credit card with over the internet or in person. This was an unauthorized use of my credit card and I have no idea how they obtained the number.
HMS Blue refused to give me a physical street address. When I demanded one, they transferred me to a voice mail box. I knew instantly this was a scam. I reported HMS Blue to the Federal Trade Commission and I advise anyone with the same problems to do the same. They will investigate once they receive several reports.
