Web.com Fraudulent credit card charges via internet transactions Ripoff Internet
I was recently fraudulently charged $49.95 via internet credit card transaction-- not once, but TWICE-- by WEB.COM, with both charges occurring on the same day. I've never even heard of WEB.COM, and I certainly haven't purchased any products or services from them. Plus, both charges were made to a credit card I haven't used in months, and wouldn't have been using for any reason.
I've filed billing disputes with the credit card company on both fraudulent charges. Hopefully, they'll remove the charges from my card, investigate this fraudulent activity and press charges against them. I'll post again when the credit card company responds to my disputes.

Joe - If you wanted a webpage for your business, you would fill out an online form: Name _________ Address _____________ Credit Card # ________________ is about all that is needed. In this case, an internet criminal, who does this everyday for a living, has filled out the form pretending to be you. Usually the criminal pages are fake shipping companies and fake Ebay escrows. The criminal just keeps whatever is sent to him, property or money. He can do this because he can can steal from americans, pretend to be in UK while in Romania or Nigeria. When the victims get wise and try to find out who is responsible, the only evidence they will have is your name and address. The same scam has gone on every day for years, as long as registration for webpages has been automated. It is important that you contact web.com as soon as possible and make it clear that any page(s) they think you have ordered must be disabled immediately. Often, credit card companies will just issue victims like you a new credit card number and nobody ever takes down the criminal webpage.
