Ibill Fraud?

[WhiteKnight]

I got an email this morning concerning a credit card transaction on IBill to mp3dancer.com, a website I have not had any contact with. The email directs me to ibillcs.com for customer service. Is ibillcs.com legit? What about ibill.com itself? I found a link off of ibill to ibillcs so I'm thinking that it probably is, but I don't know. How should I best deal with this issue?

Based on this information alone, I'd say yes.

yes ibill is legit, someone used your credit card number/card to sign up to a web site.

most likely had your card because they need the 3 digit code on the back. ibill is a widely used merchant (even anand uses them).

edit; just call and bitch at ibill.. they should refund the money. if not dispute it with your cc company

AT uses IBill to bill for their subscriber services. Not that it has anything to do with your charge, but just to give them some credibility.

If someone charged something on your credit card through Ibill, you can call them directly and they will refund your money and make sure your card number never gets charged under their system.

I had my number stolen and someone signed up for a porn site using my credit card and Ibill was very helpful.
