They just charged my card today for $19.51 (I want a explanation of why TF if this has been going on since April of 2014) What, the bank has no way of tracing where the $uck the funds are being transferred. I'm going to work on tracing this myself then. AND, let me find out who took my cash with no consent. Notta good move.

I found this site here and read all the comments on Oct 6 2020 it happened to me too 15.88 taken out. I now decided to comment too. I am a part of Wells Fargo. I told Wells Fargo to add this to their fraud list and they said they cant do that. Trying to thing where I put my card in online sites. It’s still pending and won’t go away. Apparently they call it in online these people with your card number. I am a cash person and don’t really use my card online. I did order from Motor Vehicle not sure if that was it.

Hi me again from the comments above. It's Cigars International and they are aware of the frauds going on. I called them and gave them my name and last four digits of my card and they found it. They blocked that persons account and stopped the order. It was from an online order not call in. Apparently to order you need the card number and expiration date only. Takes 3-5 days for the charge to be refunded.

3 $345.67 charges on my credit card. They were still pending but I had to cancel my card never been to this place. The company actually is aware of the fraud I contacted them and they actually refunded my money the second day. My credit card company said it could take up to 30 days to dispute so at least this place did something about it.
