My daughter ordered business cards online... I approved her order using my debit card. About a month later I notice on my running bank account that AP9 BUSINESSMAX has charged me $14.95 and AP9 PASSPORT-something has charged me $14.95 also. I called my bank immediately and they researched and found an 888 number which was to a Direct Marketing Subscription Co.
I called the number and they verified that my daughter had placed an order... Which she had not... But would not tell me what it was for. They offered to "cancel" the "subscription"... So we'll se if I'm credited or not. This is fraud and they know it but I'm sure I'm just one of thousands who has been charged for this type of thing... Oh yes... They charged me for the same thing under a different business name ALSO.
BEWAREthis started out as a simple order for business cards from a company called "VISTA".. They are hoping to disappear into the books of a business and just be absorbed as a business cost. Again, MY lesson, dont use anything but a temp credit card number for anything on line... It just doesn't pay!!!
