Very strange, indeed. All in one weekend, too. I'm half expecting to receive photos of my credit card from a third-world communist rally, ala the Travelocity garden Gnome.

Someone got ahold of my credit card and charged a subscription to the "Girls Gone Wild" web site. They'll believe that once...

Identity theft is no joke, but your post does remind me of the joke that a guy who was actually pleased when he got his credit card ripped off. He didn't report it because the thief spent less than his wife!

Get that card turned off NOW. You are about to be cleaned out. We get these low-dollar "donations" all the time on the FRN site. Scammers use low-dollar contributions to non-profits to test the card -- to see if a charge will go through. If it does, they manufacture fake plastic and take it into the bank for a cash advance. They will keep doing that until the account is depleted. |

They'll believe that once... Is "they" the credit card company or the wife? Or both?
To: Cosmo
I wouldn't report it. Sounds like they're spending less than your wife ever did....

Are you serious? Did they really end up in Singapore and Chile? This seems very strange.
Obviously the CC info was passed around, perhaps on underground channels on the internet. The one thing it proves is that MoveOn.org types are well connected into the criminal underbelly.

We were out this weekend and our ATM card was declined. We tend to be screw-ups when it comes to keeping tracck ofour bank records (we're alway forgetting about pending charges from utility companies that take their time processing our payments) so we expected that our lack of funds was our own doing and that a simple account transfer was all that was in rder. Then my wife discovered a 2 cent credit from Money gram and began to get suspicious.

Two years ago, someone got ahold of our check card #, and used it twice in Europe for small amounts, on to a PETA org. and once to a Save the Childrens fund. Both times were very small amounts (under $5.00) so we didn't notice them until
AFTER we had been billed 2 times within a 24 hour period to the tune of almost $5,000.00. Our bank, and the police figured the first two charges were just "tests" to make sure the number was correct and that the account wasn't closed.
We got all of our money back eventually, but we had to freeze our checking account (plus by this time it was almost empty) until it could be proven that we weren't scamming them. All of the transactions took place in Germany and Great Britain, so they were able to prove it pretty quickly.

$5.00 X 1,000,000 people = $5,000,000 !!!!!! Or one donation from George Soros.

We got cleaned out, and have already recouped 80% from the bank. Balanc should be restored by tomorrow, according to the bank.

My credit card was stolen but when I got the statement the thief was spending a lot less than my wife so I just let him keep it.

And the worst part is, now you are on their mailing list!Not only that, but your name is being passed around to a bunch of similar groups. I've been flooded with send-money mail ever since I contributed to the Swift Vets. It happens on both sides.

That maniac got ten to fifteen in Joliet for doing just that. It will be nice to see the executives of Moveon.org right next to James Hairless Trafficant at Allenwood, being forced to listen to his one minute speeches over the man.
