I purchased tickets through Ticketmaster.com back in December. Today I received a package from Columbia House TV DVD Club that I did not order. I checked my credit card for these charges and found half a dozen unfamiliar charges on my husband's credit card.
I immediately called my credit card company to ask where the charges came from, and they said that whoever was making these purchases hand-keyed the card number. They graciously flagged about $100 worth of fraudulent charges and told me of roughly $400 in other charges pending.
After I hung up, I started searching the internet to see what these companies were, and almost every one of them had complaints posted about them. I came across a complaint from a consumer in PA about Ticketmaster and ENT*ENTERTAINMENT BOOK charges.
Sure enough, the card I used on Ticketmaster was my husband's card, and I bought the tickets in his name (which I seldom do). Because the DVDs I mentioned above came in his name on his card, I know that it was the deceptive sales tactics used by Ticketmaster that caused this whole mess.
I will NEVER use Ticketmaster again.
