We already have a thread for discussing the problem viewtopic.php?f=10&t=32284

And the club wants you to contact them either through their site or their customer service number if you have any issues.

However, in order to better help the entire community, we'd like to try to isolate the types of fraudulent charges people are seeing. Please post the charge description, location, and amount so others can check their cards for similar charges. Anyone posting anything beyond that in this particular thread will have their post deleted. As I said we have a separate thread linked above for full discussion. What charges have you been hit with?

Logging on to my bank account online, this is what appeared:

Pre auth GOOGLE * LOC: CC@GOOGLE.COMCA

It's for $1.00
Card has been canceled and the club has also been notified.

Same thing except 2 $1 charges.

YWCA Charleston WV for 1.00
Another charge > $200 for Discount Aroma therapy - this one was blocked by CC company and when I was notified of fraudulent activity

Club not notified yet

I had a charge for about $176 from Overstock.com. I cancelled the account. And then I notified the Club after Hasbro issued its statement.

The following day, my wife was alerted to $1 charges on another card from the CC's fraud protection dept. That card was also cancelled and we referred the issuer to Fun Publications for the likely security breach.

I had two $1 charges...one was to a church the other was to a Catholic school in Wisconsin. Fraud Dept. caught both before they posted.
cancelled card

I was hit AFTER I logged in to put gibberish info for contact info

_________________

I was notified by my credit card company about a possible fraud charge. The first one appeared as Google $1.00. After, there was an attempt to charge $155.00 at Walmart.com. My credit card company blocked that charge, cancelled the card number and sent me a new card.

Edited: Rest of this post about what should be done has been deleted. Please visit the link above if you want to talk about the issue. This thread is just for tracking the charges people are seeing. Anyone else who sees someone posting commentary, please don't chime in too, just use the "!" button to report it to the moderators or PM me.

Though my bank caught this and canceled it, there was an online purchase of around $200 to Bestbuy.com. I changed all my cards that day.

got the dollar google charge, pretty sure I cancelled my card in time. Still need to go through Roxi's we can't remember if we ever used hers on their site or not.

Looks like I got nailed. Checked my bank account, and here was a $1.00 pending charge for something called "Foundation for Darien". I called my bank, and get this -- they refuse to do anything unless the charge actually goes through! And who knows how badly THAT'S going to clean me out, and then they said it'd take ten days to replace it!

I don't blame the Club for this. Stuff happens. But I am sure as hell going to hold my bank responsible for their shoddy treatment of me, and I'd like a few minutes with "Darien" -- just me and a barbed-wire-wrapped, nail-covered baseball bat.

About 2 days before this news broke, I had a charge to some place in new york.

A couple of months ago I had a $1 yahoo wallet authorization. I don't use yahoo for anything so I posted here. I was able to change both of my cards before anything worse went through.
