Well.. I did. It was a $5.95 charge from CCbills.com, gave them a call and it's from this "pornstarbucks" website. Haven't even heard of it!! :confused:

I disputed the charge with my bank (BofA) and they credited me that amount and sent me a new check card. Everything's solved now.

Yes I'm sure I didn't accidentally subscribe to anything when I was drunk or stoned or something ;)

my brother stole my father's work card and subscribed to several porn sites.

then he stole my father's normal card and subscribed to more porn sites.

then he lied about it to an investigator... etc etc...

lucky my father's company didnt fire my father or something.:disgust:

So did you act like a good brother and showed him how to get it for free?

Sure, we believe you. ;) Seriously, though, these charges are *very* annoying. We got something like that on our BoFA account, too. My wife spent half a day trying to track things down. She even asked me if I *visited* any porn sites and used our card number. In the end, the bank provided us a refund for the amount of the charge and determined it was my *wife's* card number that was used for the charge.

I'd give links, but I'd probably be banned or something.

Heh.. I like how she seems to strongly imply that you were to blame..

Never by a porn site, but I got a charge for eleven euros from some mail order catalog company in France last year. Still have no idea how that happened. Disputed the charge and got refunded twice.

Nope, never. I do have a friend that got charged like $100 because the site dialed a 1-900 number on his computer and he was too dense to realize what happened. He still goes to those sites. I've tried to explain p2p to him, he just won't listen.

If possible I use one-time credit card numbers using MBNA Shop Safe. If somebody stole these numbers the charge would be rejected.
