Saudi Telecom Company FRAUD from STC SAWA RECHARGE they stoled my money Ripoff Riyadh Saudi Arabia
My money was stolen SEVEN TIMES. It started from last month on July 19 when I had discovered 2 fraudulent charges for $80.00 each [not including the foreign transaction fee] on my Bank of America card. Charges listed as STC SAWA RECHARGE RIYADH SA. I had googled to discover that STC SAWA RECHARGE are prepaid phone card[s] for Saudi Arabian citizens. I had contacted Bank of America 3 times and sent an affidavit with proof that these STC SAWA RECHARGE charges are fraudulent and unauthorized. The charges on my card have still not been reversed as of this writing.
If that wasn't bad enough, just a few days ago, 5 fraudulent charges for $79.99 each [not including the foreign transaction fee for each] appeared in my paypal account. Charges listed as STC SAWA RECHARGE RIYADH SA. 2 charges on 8/17 and 3 charges on 8/20. My paypal debit card has been disabled and I had sent 2 affidavits to paypal. Paypal has not reversed these fraudulent charges as of this writing.
I had read reports at other forums of the STC SAWA RECHARGE fraudulent charges appearing on other people's credit cards. So I am not alone in this mess. Some individuals are saying that it could be related to the registerfly/godaddy situation and how those who used credit cards to get their domains out of registerfly might have had their numbers sold out of revenge.
That could be a possibility, BUT I am seriously wondering if the STC SAWA RECHARGE fraudulent charges are connected to the "intabill" thieves, as on June 5, 7 and 13, my money was stolen from my bank account from thieves parading around as "intabill" for $100 each theft [google intabill to read reports from others who had their money stolen from "intabill"]. And then a month later this STC SAWA RECHARGE fraudulent charges appear.
I am keeping an eye on my credit card and bank account. It has gotten to the point that after all of these charges are reversed, I may not use a credit card anymore and may not continue to have a bank account. I may just get a fireproof safe and keep all the money in the house. I cannot have to worry and check my accounts everyday to be sure that the balances are correct and have to worry about when I pay bills that the checks might bounce because some thief stoled my money again. Or worry about not having the room on my charge card to buy things because some thief stoled my card number and ran up a fraudulent bill.
Where do these thieves get off on stealing people's numbers and think that they have the explicit right to go on a shopping spree and ruin many lives. WHEN WILL THIS STEALING STOP? WHEN?
I will update when anything happens, as I have a feeling that there is more to this money stealing spree than meets the eye.

Still fighting these charges. Unreal...

Sorry for the slow update. Unfortunately I am still fighting these charges 1 year later. Here is what has gone on so far: On 8/28/07, I went to the bank to reverse the Paypal charges. I had my Paypal debit card linked to my bank account at the time when the fraudulent charges occurred. I knew that by going to the bank and complaining about the charges, I was risk having my Paypal account frozen. And sure enough on 8/31/07, Paypal froze my account with the excuse of how they will get on the stick and investigate the charges. On 9/4/07, Paypal credited my account but still kept my account frozen. I had finally called them on 9/14/07 and complained to them about the way they treated me. The lady I spoke to on the phone said she did not know why Paypal kept my account frozen after my account was credited. But she did unfreeze my account. I cannot say there is an ending with Bank of America, as they NEVER removed the fraudulent charges. I will be filing a separate rip off report on Bank of America, as NOBODY should go through what I am going through now with them. Bank of America is truly evil to the core.
