========[ Invite a Friend - http://www.ganoksin.com/invite.htm ]======== Hi, I have just found 2 x $80.00 check card charges on my business bank account. They are from "STC SAWA RECHARGE" After doing a quick search on Google I found out that this is a new scam. The forum is for professional resellers and the problem seems to be spreading rather quickly and widely. You can tell just from the numbers of posts and the diversity of locations. I don't use this check card at gas stations, grocery stores and the like. I only use it online at very few trusted websites that have high security connections, and only about 3 or 4 of them for supplies. Never had any problems until now as I am extremely careful. It looks like there maybe some connection to Citibank. I just withdrew a small amount at a Citibank branch over the weekend, and I do not bank with them. I am just speculating here, trying to figure out how these people got the card number. Others on that forum had the same care with their card numbers. One of the posters at that forum said that Citibank stated to him that " They are aware of the problem". I would post a link to the discussion but I am not sure it is allowed. If it is and you want the link, please let me know and I will post it. The charge is from a Middle Eastern Phone Card company. Please monitor your bank accounts and credit cards closely. This issue has not been on the news that I could find. If you see such a charge contact the bank immediately as they come back for more if you don't stop it right away. One of the posters at that forum had his card charged 4 times! Just wanted to let everyone on Orchid know about it. I am trying to alert as many people as possible.
