I just noticed an unauthorized charge on my card from somewhere in Mexico. The amount was for $10.68, and the only reason I noticed it is because there was also a $. 021 charge to my bank account for "currency conversion". I have never even been to Mexico! Also, this is supposed to be an online company, but it's a rip-off and identity theft. I panicked and started to call ALL my credit card companies and checked statements online to make sure other false charges don't exist.
Here's something I've noticed in everyone else's report on this fraud case: Most activity seems to be on the West Coast, especially California. Most charges are between $8.00-$13.00 (though some report highter amounts). And the one dead giveaway is their location in Mexico. Check your accounts everywhere, and possibly request a new card with a NEW account number. Chances are if they tapped into your online banking, they got a hold of ALL your other cards that you pay your statements with online banking services.
Call your cards, file a fraud report if they find any charges. Then file a police repot. Make SURE to get a new account number! And let's report this to the Justice Department so that the government is aware of this overseas thievary!!
