This is most definitely fraud! Eric Robertson now has a new website Templateglobus.com and just charged my credit card $9.87.

I have been a FatWallet member since 2004. don't let this con man fool anybody.

garyreno said:Why are you defending this conman?

It is not defending but finding out the trend.

A coin has two sides.

May b the company is bogus. but a google search showed the same trend. this is not only in this forum but in many other forum as well.
when such a post appears then immediately there are 5-10 posts saying I am also affected. the trend is all these 5-10 posters are new to that site. everywhere.
so if u hear a lie 10 times that will not make it a truth.

I guess this hasn't been solved yet.

I just discovered a charge for $9.87 from imaglobus.com made four days ago. site comes up as a royalty-free illustrations/photos site. Anyway, I was trying to remember if I did sign up for any sites with automatic subscription renewal in the past, open to the possbility that the original company name/service might have changed. i tried to see if anything on the site would jog my memory, and thought it was strange that you can't recover the password to log into the site unless you remember your (non-existent) username.

then i found this forum.

i reported it as well, and should get my new card soon.

See my post. Same charges on the same day. Haven't used this card in ages.

I just found an IMAGLOBUS.COM charge on my credit card today, Jan. 9, 2008 in the amount of $9.87. I checked becasue last night I called United Airlines to get some miles put back into my account. It took forever, the guy requested all of my credit card info, and it just seemed a little strange. So, today I checked my card and the IMAGLOBUS.COM charge was on there.

My card has never been lost or stolen. Perhaps:

1. just a coincidence but anyone else with this charge talk to a United rep that asked for all of the cc info, including security code and then got an IMAGLOBUS charge within 48 hours?

2. I wonder if an online retailer database has been compromised...

3. It must be someone connected with IMAGLOBUS. Why else would someone steer them all of this revenue. I justed called IMAGLOBUS.COM and the line was disconnected.

I had a charge on my credit card for $9.87 on 1/6/2008. I have been trying to get my money back with no luck.

When you call them at: 210-807-4272 the recording says:
===============================
Thank you calling Globus.

We appologies but all of our phone operators are currently busy or unavailable.

For immediate assistance, please use the contact forum available on the web site and a qualified support representative will reply back within 30 minutes.

Thank You.
=========================================

The sent me a bogus refund receipt and a bogus explaination how someone used my email screename as the username that person created on their web page. (I never used the screename before and the email address was created to avoid spam being generated.)

Their phone number was disconnected the first time I called. The second time I caled, the message said they only respond via email messages online thru "the" web page. As it turns out this person, Eric Robertson or Mike Allison runs about 3 web pages using similar frauds: WWW.PictureGlobus.com, WWW.ImaGlobus.com, and WWW.TemplateGlobus.com.

I found their names in League City, Texas where the credit card fraud occured. Look it up in the white pages.

When you reverse lookup their 1 210-807-4272 number it appears to be unlisted. Go figure.

Start the year off right. Easy ways to stay in shape in the new year.

I too have a charge of $9.87 from Pictureglobus.com on my VISA bill. I found the following thread when I did a search on the company. I wish we could figure out if there is a common thread from all those who were charged.

I looked on my paystub today and found FICO. I definitely think this SOB is trying to rob me!

well when disputing the orignal 9.95 amount the csr found another funny.com charge that was pending. it was for like 3.95. dispute paper work is in the mail from the c.c. and new card will be issued since its obivous this number is out the wild.

Ditto here.
I haven't received my paper bill yet and on my ONLINE Statement caught a 9.87 charge. She then asked about a 1/13 charge of 3.95. I haven't used card. I am curious why a charge from 9 days ago has yet to be subtracted from available balance or show up on recent transactions.....

Just spoke to my cc charge dispute section. What a bunch of useless idiots! They told me to call that 210 number in TX to talk to the "merchant" to resolve the issue since it may be some recurring charge that I forgot about. I told them that I know it is an unauthorized charge, and it is a known problem that other people have experienced. They gave me some BS that they would remove it this one time, but the charge may show up next month even if I close the acct and open a new one. How the heck can templateglobus charge me again if I get a new cc number...that is just totally illogical, unless of course the cc company is totally incompetent. But then again I wouldn't be surprised. I've had to put a fraud alert on my credit report before due to a university losing records. The fraud alert does nothing; I was able to open a new credit card acct during the period of the fraud alert, no problems or questions, no one called to ask me if I had applied for a new cc.

Bottom line is you basically need to watch out for yourself.
