I called the company that was listed on my credit card statement. They stated that the transaction was a membership fee and the person had my mailing address!! Anyway, the customers service representative also gave me the email of the person who made this fraudulent transaction. And the culprit has a yahoo account. Has anyone else had this experience? If so how did you handle it and was the outcome?
I just found the email of the person who was making fraudulent transactions on my credit card?
I've never had this problem myself but when I worked for the bank, we usually advised people to file a Security Incident Report with either the credit card company or the bank account that the money was being taken from. You may want to call all of your creditors just to give them a heads up if you're afraid that other cards could be compromised. It may save you future headaches because if the company knows to keep an eye on weird transactions, then sometimes their security department can stop them before they go through.
Reply:Go to the police they will take action.
Reply:file a police report...that is a crime
Reply:Tell the police or FBI. Let them know the details. Maybe they can give u some help.
Reply:Turn it all over to the police. They have more resources than you do. All you can do is email the person--- they can see your email and delete it and you can't stop them. The cops *may* be able to access Yahoo records to get a better idea of the person's identity. Don;t get your hopes up, though; since you can open a Yahoo account from any computer in the world and you don't need a credit card or drivers license to do it, the cops might track this person right back to a public terminal at a hotel or library, and no further than that.
Reply:I work for a PC gaming company, and I get calls like this quite often (credit card fraud). In most cases, the email address used is a bogus account. If they have your credit card number and your mailing address, they most likely have the CVN (the last 3 on the back of your card). CANCEL THIS CARD IMMEDIATELY!! Also, contact your other credit cards and let them know that you've had fraudulent charges on another account and they can put a 'watch' on your account. Also, contact the 3 credit reporting agencies and have them flag your account. What this will do, is if any new accounts are opened in the next 3 years, you'll get a phone call to approve the opened account.
And as another poster stated, contact the cops and file a police report. You really need to stay on them, as they usually don't do anything with it (I was a victim of credit card fraud, and my cops did didly-squat!).
Reply:Report it to the police and let them handle it. Also report it to the credit card company.
Reply:Call your credit card company and dispute the charge.
Reply:you must act quick,notify the f.b.i.
Reply:i had an experience like that and I went to the police. They have detectives that work on those issues.
Reply:report it to your bank and call the cops you wont have to pay a dime..
Reply:I am Chief Investigator at a large Internet retailer, I came up through the ranks starting as a fraud analyst.
Get a new card account number.
There is really nothing else that can be done. Although it sucks, the guy is an evil thief, etc. etc. -- there's nothing the police can do, or have the time or resources to do, and it's simply not worth the time or energy required to go on a wild goose chase.
Does that stink? I suppose it does. But millions of fraudulent transactions go on all the time. Thousands of them every day. It's part of the cost of doing business. No single fraud of that kind is worth going after. Only when a transaction is part of a very large case involving thousands of such transactions by the same people is there any value in trying to nail the scum.
You can file a police report. Not such a bad idea if if makes you feel better. Just don't expect much.
The e-mail address is absolutely useless. It's a disposable address, it was signed up with fake information.
The best thing you can do is have the fraudulent charge canceled, get a new card number, and keep that freaking thing to yourself.
Oh, and fergodsakes -- QUIT ANSWERING THOSE PHISHING E-MAILS!
Reply:call yahoo. get the address. call police. thank you
Reply:file a police report and include yahoo's cust svc agent on the report.. take this up the ladder as they can see who's account this was siged up under and what IP address.. don't hesitate
Reply:GO GET THAT TURD,
Reply:Tell the rep that you want a refund because you did not authorize the charge, then make a police report.
Reply:No, I haven't experienced this, but I think it is great that you have the email address. I am assuming you have filed a police report. The email address could help with the arrest.
I'm sure you want to email the dirty rotten bastard and give him/her a piece of your mind, but better wait until you report your new-found info to the police!

How can I find a list of the credit cards I am using on PayPal...I can only find where to add another?
I got an email notice that one of my cards is about to expire but I don't even use that card anymore and thought I had taken it off my paypal account. The only card I can find is the one I am using now and it doesn't exprie for a long time. I went to profile, clicked on credit cards, and it only brings up a place to add another or edit the info for my current card. Is this a mistake? How can I find out if my old card is still on my paypal account?

go to profile then credit/debit cards
--good luck
Reply:if you are on a legitimate paypal site your tool bar should trun green, paypal does not send you e-mail notices telling you your cc is about to expire, do not update this account from your e-mail
Reply:I would double check it. It may be a scam e-mail. If so, and if you clicked on a link in it and signed into paypal, then you need to change your password. I've received these e-mails before about a credit card that is about to expire but they were scams. If it truly came from Paypal, they will have included the last 4 digits of the credit card number in the e-mail.
If it is a legit e-mail from Paypal and if it's not showing and is already expired, they may have removed it. However, I learned you can NOT remove a card yourself until you add a new one. So, try adding a new one and see if the other one shows up. If it does, you can then delete it. But, since you have another card already on the account that is working, I wouldn't worry about it.

Can pictures be copied from an email to a memory card for using in a digital photo frame?
I am considering purchasing a digital photo frame for my parents who do not own a computer. I am wondering if I will be able to copy pictures e-mailed to me from my brother and put them on a memory card in order for my parents to see the pictures, short of me printing out every one. I know you can copy pictures on a memory card to the computer, but what about from the computer to the memory card?
Can pictures be copied from an email to a memory card for using in a digital photo frame?
Yes, the computer must have a memory card reader though. If yours doesnt, they sell one fairly inexpensivly at most electronics stores. It is an adapter the will plug into a USB port.

What should I do with this email - has someone used my credit card?
Dodgy email - HELP!?
Ok here's the thing.
I just got an email in my bulk folder, not addressed to my email but to another yahoo account, but somehow I got it instead.
It refers to a purchase made on a credit card for jewelly totalling over 700 quid. The payment has been rejected because "Visa Overdraft has exceded limit."
I havent ordered jewellry, and I cant find out if this was my credit card used because those details are in an attachment that Im too scared to open.
What should I do? Should I email the person it was intended for? Should I delete it? Should I open the attachment? HELP!
What should I do with this email - has someone used my credit card?
No, do not open it. It is probably a scam and if you open it then it might dump a trojan horse onto your machine. Delete it.
Call up your credit card and see what the status is. Do NOT go by anything you get in some unknown email.
This same email probably went out to a million people.
Reply:Don't open the attachement. It's trying to get you to reveal your creidit card details. Forward it to your bank. Or just delete it.
Reply:All you have to do is call your credit card company if your worried and talk to them,
The email is a scam. ignore it. delete it.
Reply:your card company (or at least mine do) should ring you if you do that sort of thing, but to be certain ring them with details of the email etc
Reply:id deleted it, it could be a virus and then u will have more trouble, if the email does not contain ur full name then its def fake just delete it, to be on the safe side, delete the email and check with the bank and enquiry about the overdraft error or just check ur account by a cash machine to check ur money is safe
hope it helps
Reply:its been put in your bulk folder for a reason.....because it has detected that it is a spam e-mail.....so no just delete it as it is most definately a scam setup by evil robbing sods who prey on people like yourself who are unsure if it is real or not
Reply:Ignore it. Its a scam, don't in an circumstances give any personal details to the sender. If it is important, you credit card issuer will contact you by phone. Same if it was sent to you by mistake - the correct person will also be contacted by phone.
Reply:erm, phone your credit card company and ask them.
Reply:Delete it. I've been getting mail like that, too. My one credit card does not even know I have a yahoo email and I received an email at yahoo "from them" stating my card was charged, blah, blah
I have also been getting from "paypal," which again, they don't know yahoo addy. The paypal I forward to them. I went to their website, and if you look around there, you will find what to do with fraud emails.
Really, though, don't respond, just delete. Don't ever click on a link. There probably is no other person, other than someone bad waiting for you to do just that, forward to them, so don't, I say.
Reply:Its a SCAM!!!!!!!! 3rd time this question has been raised here today.
They want you to reply saying I am NOT overdrawn....have you used the correct card??? My number is..........!!!!!!!!

Who can i send an email/letter of complaint to about a telephone card?
Hi Sweetie,
Customer Service won't get U any where, but find out from them, or ask for the Supervisor/Manager state R complaint %26amp;/or directly ask for Head Office Address %26amp; Phone# as it may have to be in writing %26amp; billing # etc. They'll probably ask what it's concerning: Just say I have a complaint %26amp; ALWAYS get the full name of the person r speaking with. And don't be intiminated by them, just ask what U want R go further up the latter, I'm sure they don't want to loose customer. However, dealing with these people you must use an Athouritive Voice to get anywhere. R not pussy-footing around so to speak. Get H.O. number %26amp; state r Full Unsatisfactory Claim with a rather Angry, but serious Statement! All By Best of LucK! Go Get em Tiger! lol Sometimes u have to be cruel to be kind? R goal is to get H.O. address %26amp; Phone#! If u need help with the letter e-me back with situation, %26amp; I will help u, I'm notorious
in that field! Oh, %26amp; details + note E-Mail Re: Telephone Card!
You shud be able to get the H.O. Office by web-seach on Digame + Telephone Card............ try............. Good Luck!
LOL, Diana D
