When looking through my dad's credit card statements to help him with his finances, we noticed a $25 charge on his account from Travelers Innovations. Being that we closed this card recently to try an consolidate his debt, I found it suspicious. I spent a half hour grilling him on wether he remembered anyone calling and offering a membership or if he gave out his credit card number to anyone. He swore he remembered nothing. Well, now after finding this website, I realize he was right. When we called the company, which, by the way, did not leave a phone number on the credit card bill and also sent no information from their company on what you supposedly purchased for the $25, they said they would not charge him in the next month. When asked about the current charge, they said they would not waive it. Well, the next step was to call teh credit card company. I am not sure how this will turn out, but I will post when I find out. On that note, how is it possible these rip off artists get your card number when you do not give it to them, and secondly, why are they not arrested for comitting blatent fraud!?
