Use proper grammar, I can't understand a word you're saying.
You didn't even list the offers that charged you.

Okay, I have a problem. I don't know if someone stole my credit card info in the mail (mall?) or not but it was charged and the payments were not approved by me and they are well over $500. One charge is $375 by itself and the offer it is accounted for, I canceled in the valid amount of trial time. I am still going to get a preloaded visa but I wanted to know what I should do, and to warn everyone that there might be a scammer, although I could not tell you specifically.

I have worked on several forums in the past when anyone asked for help it was usually given in a positive manner (I hang my head reading this) Rav. I wish I had an answear for you but without further info. I dont. The pre loaded card is a good ideal so this cant happen in the future.

Although I agree that proper grammar and spelling would certainly be helpful, I don't see the point in making fun of RAV.
RAV, my suggestion is to start calling the offers that charged you. A prepaid card is also an idea, but some offers will not take them, as they don't show your billing address, which is a security concern. If you are using a PayPal debit card, my suggestion is to remove the back-up funding to your bank account. That way they can't get more than you have in your PayPal - that's what I do. I keep very little in my PayPal, only enough to cover the offers I do, and transfer the rest to my bank account (after I pay my referrals, of course.)
Hope this is helpful.

Well, they don't just charge you for no reason. You probably signed up for offers you had no interest in then completly forgot about them and didn't cancel, getting charged. So you have absoloutly no right at all to tell your CC company that it was a scam. When you signed up for that offer you agreed to a contract, you know...

Just this weekend I was alerted by my credit card company that it appeared there were fradulant charges on my account. I called right away because it is the credit card I have used to complete some of my offers. There were charges of almost $1000 that I DID NOT authorize. I have only used this credit card to complete my referrals and offers. There was one charge to a mobilebee.com which is not an offer that I completed and is in fact an internet site to buy cell phones and such. There were two seperate charges to Coach and there are no offers out there for that either. I am not sure how it happened unless because of the decreased security so that the offers will credit or how it happened, but it did. The account has been closed and turned over to the fraud department. I don't think it was coincidence that this happened after completing some of these offers, just don't know how whoever made these charges got the credit card number. I am now using a card that creates a virtual number for each transaction. Until I read the other gentleman's message I wasn't going to post anything, but as I said I don't think it was coincidence. Just watch your accounts closely!

You're right, it's not a coincidence. You probably signed up for an offer like say Video Professor(Which actually doesn't do this, btw), and in their Terms of Service they say that they will also sign you up for other sites, one being this Mobilebee.com. Then mobilebee.com charges you $1000, then mobilebee will give video professor $500 out of that. They all make money and you agreed to it, so if they want your money they can just show that you signed up and agreed to those terms, they also, of course, say you can't cancel for 2 years so you're stuck. CC companies can try to get you out of a contract, but if mobilebee wants to take it to court your CC company won't even try because they know you agreed to it and it would be illegal for you and them to not pay that. That's just like stealing, you have the service available to you, but you're not paying for it. I know you didn't intentionally sign up for it, and they shouldn't do that, but if they take it to the courts, you're going to lose...
Once again, Video Professor does NOT actually do this and is a lisomewhatli legit company.

I contacted Mobilebee.com and what I was told shocked me. It was not an offer that I did not cancel, ect. This was a purchase for a cellphone that was made with my credit card and all of my personal information. My name address, phone number and even the security code on the back of my card. The only thing that was different was the shipping address. Somehow through one of these sites someone did get my information and used it to make purchases. If anyone has an idea how this could be happening, please share.

Summary - You signed up for an offer and when you did you agreed to their TOS, which included signing up for MobileBee.com, meaning that this offer you signed up for had every legal right to pass along your information to MobileBee.com and subscribe you. Once again, do not threaten to take it to court, just keep it between you and the CC company and them, if you say you'll take it to court they'll be glad to go to court and show that you agreed to sign up for it, then they will probably counter-sue because they had to hire a lawyer(which will probably be a brother but they'll say it costs $10,000 so they make money there too)
Whatever you do, DO NOT go to the police or a lawyer if you agreed to it by signing up for an offer!
If you read all the TOS' for every offer you did and belive they did fraud you, then take it to the courts and hire a lawyer and basically do the exact opposite of what I said, but only if you are 100% sure you didn't agree, or you could lose a lot of money.

there you go jump at things again, i never said any thing about taking a company to court. i have read every thing every one said the best one was gator1002 i am NOT taking any thing to court. i never even read on the TOS any thing about the one thing bee what ever. it also say you are only out the trail and if you choice to keep it them the monthly charge what ever it may be but if you cancel you are out no more after that, i know a little about law. they are not post to give you info to other companys with out your ok, when you sign for a offer yes some work with others, but you are agreeing to that company.

Diablo, I am reading what you are saying and I did read the TOS of the offers I have done, and if you have a link or some information that I can read that about passing my information to Mobilebee.com I would like to have it. Mobilebee.com is a cell phone site based in NYC that sells plans and cell phones. My credit card was used to by an Erickson phone and was delivered to someone in IL, that does not sound to me like something you can "subscribe" to. I have informed the C/C company and intend to let them handle the situation. I am only trying to say that there is a way that someone got my information and used it make purchases, not passed it along to some other company to subscribe to another offer.

I completed the offer stopsmoking180.com....this is scamming company.I clililicel the offer well in time & then return the product..now they are trying to charge 3 times on my card(thank god it is prepaid card).It didnt go through!!!! ...if u search their company(next click media..i dont know exactly...)so many people have said that that company is a scam. When i tried to call them(which appered on my card)u always get the message that the message box is full, i cant leave the message...how could that possible every time....so guys & gals if u have done this offer then they defenately could have taken the money.
