Fraudulent Charge: Brenda and Associates

[WhatsHisNuts]

Had a weird charge pop up from Brenda and Associates for a whopping $1.93. I tried calling the number on my statement, but that number is disconnected. Called it in to Visa and they are starting an investigation. I looked up this company online and I see all sorts of people having the same issue.

Anyone else?

Good thing you only had $1.93 available credit on that card :0003

Looks like small charges are their MO....hoping they'll get overlooked, I suppose.

Hard to say.I buy shit online, I use it at restaurants, gas stations, grocery stores, etc. I saw one guy say that he had the charges applied to his PayPal account.

Your number is at risk every time u purchase anything in person, by telephone or online.

Please don't encourage him. We need a leader not a clown.

I checked out my statement and found a 1.95 charge for pp*1001code. Called the number, which turned out to be pay pal. My call was dropped after being on hold for a few minutes. Gonna try back after I run a quick errand, but am wondering if it's the same thing:shrug: I know that I haven't bought anything online that cost 1.95.

you have to admire the yankee ingenuity...charge a couple hundred thousand $1.95 charges and hope that half don`t notice or disregard the small charge....

very impressive...

I've wracked up a nice 143.00 tab for Ipad Apps and Kindle purchases.

One click, and presto.

I mention this only for those that allow your kids to buy apps on their itouch/ipod/iphone.

Stuff starts to accumulate rather quickly. Ten books, $100. :0008
