Things like that happened to FW members in the past. It's important to keep an eye out on the statements, even for accounts you don't normally use. I have been hit for a similar-magnitude charge from some toy store across the country on a BofA visa. Got the charge taken off, but didn't request a new account - haven't had any other fradulent charges on it since.

michal1980 said:yes we called in the card as lost, but its a local credit union c.c. so their dispute divison is closed until monday.

so a new card should show up soon.

its a small transcation, from who really knows what company. for all we know this card was stolen from tj max a year ago (since we shoped there) and finally got used as a test.

just wanted to give people a heads up because i've read some of the previous posts on FWF that were very similar in nature (small repeating costs)

same thing happened with my credit union....it was a card that i didn't use and i didn't notice it until like 2 months later. it wasn't imoglobe or whatever, some other company that only had a disconnected phone number.

williamgunn said:It's so ridiculous how these companies can just start charging you for stuff and hope you don't catch it. It's always $9.95, for some reason, too. Where I tend to get this stuff is on my cell phone bill.

theres 2 reasons. one its under 10 bucks its easy to miss.

or

they do a small charge to test the number make sure its good. then go on a spending spree.

Just another wake up call to always check your bill

I had a similiar charge a year ago on my Citicard for a small amount. I disputed the charge and got my money back. I decided not to close the account number, since it was a small amount. However, a year later I got the same charge a second time from the unauthorized company. This time I closed the credit card account number. What nerve!

No, it was not an annual charge. The name of the company was KCSOFTLLC.com. This company has been known for scamming when I checked the name of the company over the Internet.

My girlfriend just called me and said she had a $9.xx charge from imaglobus on her card too! she called them and they are gonna refund the account. They gave us the IP address of the person who opened the account. I looked it up and it appears to be someone using ADSL from Pacbell in Irvine, CA. You should contact imaglobus (support@imaglobus.com or phone # on web site) and ask what's up and get the IP address.

oh no I should not have posted this, imaglobus is now on to me, and wants me to delete the warning.

funny for a site thats been up for only a few short months. but like the saying goes... where theres smoke...

(this is a pm I got)

My name is Eric Robertson and I am a support representative at Imaglobus.com

I have been receiving e-mails from our customers regarding your post on this forum and many of them are getting suspicious and no longer want to purchase subscriptions from us.

The only reason why you were charged is because an account has been created on our web-site and was paid with your card.

From what I understand your card has been stolen and/or lost long time ago, thus you did not make and/or authorize this purchase on our web-site.

We have no problem with issuing you a full refund, as well as we will definitely be investigating this case on our end.

In order for us to refund you back the money we need to locate the order in our system.

I have contacted our accounting department and they say that the only information they have access to is:

- First name as it appears on the card which was charged
- Last name as it appears on the card which was charged
- Last four digits of the card which was charged.

Please e-mail me this information and I will pass it to our accounting department so they can issue a full refund immediately.

I would also like to ask you to either remove the thread from the forum or delete our company's name from the topic name. We are just starting out and this thread is harming our business. I hope that you understand it is not our fault that someone used your card to register with us.

Please e-mail back so we can get this solved.

I can also give you a call back if you e-mail your number and best time to reach you

Looking forward to your reply.

Kind regards,
Eric Robertson
