Earlier in March I received an unsolicited DVD, I WONDER WHO'S KILLING HER NOW? It was in a small white envelope with the date March 8 above my name and address. Since there were no papers included, I figured it was just a free sample like companies sometimes send. Or at least I thought it was free until I received the credit card bill today with a charge of $9.95, Transaction date 03/04 and Post date 03/05. The charge was made by COMM-SERVICES LLC 04014292943 NJ.
I have never ordered from COMM-SERVICES, never even heard of them previously. What concerns me the most is how did they get my name, address, AND credit card information?
Naturally that credit card is now junk and I'll not only have to wait for a new one but will also have to notify the businesses that have that card info to use in their billing.
I'm curious — since it's the card I use for NetFlix and the scam is apparently based on sending DVDs, was anyone else's scammed credit or debit card normally used for a NetFlix membership? I'm wondering if there's any common link between victims that might help us track down the site or business whose customer list apparently has been stolen.
