PSA: Fraudulent Charge on my card, maybe yours too.

So I was checking out my bank statement and I saw a random $24.99 charge, not a big deal, I could have charged it. But Google is my friend and I found a thread where quite a few people got this same charge, as well as a $9.95 charge before it. This $9.95 charge is reportedly coming from a place called kcsoftllc.com

I would paste the information, but I called it in to Bank of America and its already closed. But it looked something like this DIGITAL AGE, 888-529-98 CYPRESS, SW 08/27 $24.99

Link to forum discussing it
The charge is from Sweden, which seems unlikely to be a real charge.

Just something to be on the lookout for on your cards.

Summary:
Watch out for scams from kcsoftllc.com and DIGITAL AGE and possibly other companies.
 
Hey nice heads up. Another one to watch out for is
"innovative software te"

i was billed 9.95$ from them... total scam (occurred 2-3 weeks ago). CC company reversed the charges.
 
There's a HUUUUUUUGE thread on this over at Fatwallet Finance. A lot of AMEX card holders getting scammed. IIRC, many believe it's an internal failure at AMEX, and others.
 
Yeah I saw, but it was mostly Amex related. This was a Visa card...

That and I was way too lazy to read the ENTIRE thread 🙂
 
Thanks for the heads up. 🙂

I had seen those charges on my debit card, back on the 19th of September, but figured I'd wait for my account statement to come before I'd check it out. Luckily I changed my debit card out a few days after I noticed these charges (the magnetic strip was getting to the point where I couldn't swipe it once to read it), so there were no further charges on the account. 🙂

I just got off the phone with Citibank, and they've permanently refunded the one charge ($7.95 to "hostitnow.inc" in Staten Island, NY), and they're sending me paperwork to dispute the $24.99 charge from Sweden. The guy at citibank said once they got that paperwork back from me, either via fax or postal, they'd do a provisional refund of that one, until they could prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that it's a real charge, and not a fraudulent one. Yet another reason why I bank with the Citi. 😀
