After paying off my Mastercard I was suprised to get a statement for $61.02. I called the credit card company and they said that the only charge on the card was from a company called Direct LD. There was no other billing detail. Since I knew this was not mine I put the charge in dispute.
When the credit card company's computer flagged that item as 'in-dispute' it scanned previous charges looking for matches by name or amount. Wouldn't you know it, just before I had paid off my Mastercard they had charged me another $61.02 under the name of Direct One! So I put that into dispute too. I have NEVER dealt with this company, nor have I bought anything related to discount long distance via web or telemarketer.
The question is: Where did they get my card number from? I carefully track all online purchases and what credit card I use. The only online purchase on this particular credit card was with VistaPrint for their cheap business cards about two months ago. Any relation. I don't know, but will provide an update when I find out!
