Scam Artist

What some people won't do...

Was looking over my bank statement last night. Noticed that there was a charge for a whopping $4.81 for something that I never heard of. Looked their name up on the internet and guess what? SCAM ARTIST. Seems they have set a robot program up that randomly sends account and routing numbers through till they hit. They do it for a small amount so you won't notice or care. I figured if they could do it for $4.81, they could do it for whatever was in the account.

So I go to the bank this morning to check on this. Have to cancel my card and lock my account for a week just in case. All they can do is give you a number to the company to call. Of course its some number that no one EVER answers. So basically all I can do is sue the company for my $4.81 back. Which is well...probally not worth the hassle.

So the bottom line is this, if I walk into a bank and steal 4 million dollars I will go to prison for the rest of my life. BUT, if I hack into 1 million banks and steal 4 bucks, 1 million people will have to sue me for 4 bucks each.

Some people...

BTW the company is CHEAPESTTHEMES.COM out of Flordia.

I know

I bought a tracking device from a dealer on here a couple of months ago. 2-days after the purchase , there was charge on my debit card for $60.52 the card number was hacked into by someone out of Florida. But the purchase was made too a company in Paris, France.. My bank refunded my money. And launched an investigation.. I was shocked that my bank said come up and fill out a despute form and we'll credit your account back. After issueing me a new debit card....Florida is a hot spot for hackers my bank said...

PS. I miss Bill C. too

I found this on another website from others just like me...

"This is the game:
- They start pushing known stolen credit cards through their credit transaction system with very small amounts of money.

- The charge on a stolen credit card is intended to be a small amount which also looks like a legitimate purchase from their web site.

- No one wants to file a dispute with VISA/MASTERCARD right away because that costs $25.

- So you attempt to resolve it yourself via e-mail to support@cheapestthemes.com. And you end up getting a refund, so no one on the consumer level (supposedly) goes any further with pursuing the illegal and unauthorized charge.

- When contacting them, they gladly refund the money, thus no dispute with the VISA/MASTERCARD company will be made (no one wants to pay the $25 to make one)

- When they get questioned about it, they refund the amount immediately, and thus are not found suspicious. In fact most victoms are so happy to have their money refunded, they just walk away and never think twice. Banks and Credit Card issuers get a response within 24 hours and the money is refunded and will close the matter and reissue a new card to the customer.

- If their is no question about the charge, they know they have a clean credit card - meaning it is either one that is not checked to verify charges, is used by multiple people who do not keep a log of their purchases, is a business credit card with usually $10,000 in charges a week (thus this small charge goes unnoticed), or a card of some other use in which small purchases get through easily undetected and unquestioned.

- If no one questions the charge, they take the card and sell it, or use in a pool of hundreds of other like-stolen cards to make small purchases, which is how the criminal makes money. (just think how much they will earn with 200 stolen cards of $6.81 each.)

- They will do this over and over, either selling the card to make additional money, or trading credit cards with other thieves and starting this process over again."


Folks just be sure and watch for this. Seems its been going on for awhile, slowed down, but is picking back up again...

a few years ago

I was at the kenton Nationals and my wife called me . she wanted to know what bimbo I was sending moneyto in the UK. ok I don't know anyone there. so I tell her that I never sent any money there. come to find out some SOB got my card number and made a 1000$ with draw from our account. our bank refunded our money and prosecuted for us. so a few weeks later a fellow contacts me to buy 2 dogs I had for sale to ship to Africa. ok so he sends me a certified check for the purchase and shipping. my wife thank god was suspecious and went to our bank and the teller says yes it is good. so she decides to call the bank it was drawn on and reaches some kind of an official and says to call this 800# and it is to the FBI. come to find out the bank had been closed for 2 yrs and someone at the bank had stolen a bunch of certified checks and was pulling ascam they went thru all call made to me and emails. had to send copies of check and all other papper work to the FBI. and if you ever get someone that wants to buy a dog and they use the tty system to contact you ( tty is for the hearing impaired) tell them to pound salt as there is a guy in next town that they got for 18,000 on the same deal and always get your money orders cleared before you snd anything out as that is how they got him they were fakes
