| | | Check your accts!!!!!
I just scanned my CC and realized a company called JEC GLOBAL charged me $8.28. Not that it is a huge charge, but it was not legit. I googled them and found that this criminal is known to charge small amounts on CC and debit cards  Please check. Nordstrom just changed my card out. |

| | | Is your card linked to Paypal? I just checked mine and the same company charged $10.60 on my credit card that I use mostly for Paypal and ebay transactions. |

| | Yep, they charged me $7.90 last week through my Paypal debit card. I contacted Paypal and said I've never heard of them and had them issue me a new debit card. I filled out a dispute form and faxed in, the money was credited back to my account the other day. Not a large amount, but pissed me off nonetheless! |

| | | So shady. Some other company charged my cc $14.86 a couple weeks ago. They credited me back, but I was still mad. I even have that paypal key card thing, but I guess they can get cc #s other ways...

| | | OMG! I was charged too! thank you for telling us! I would've never even looked if I didn't see this! Thanks so much!
ETA: should I call my bank or Paypal to get this fixed? I use this card on my Paypal, but the transaction only shows on my bank statement, not my paypal account.
ETA again: nvm.. i just went ahead and called my bank and they are shutting down my current account and sending me a new card

| | Yes, keep checking because apparently this became worse in January. My CC, not debit card was charged on the 24th My debit card is new, so hopefully nothing will be charged on it.
I tried calling the company but a recording came on. The recording was so lame and obvious for a fraud. Bastards  |

| | IDK, but it seems like it is bad. I did get one of those letters that my info was "Leaked" so I am guessing this is the case The frustrating part is that Nordstrom bank did not care to investigate |

I got the account closed yesterday and will be getting a new card, but I'm just wondering how they were able to get my info. I'm very careful when shopping online and never click on any e-mail links or use suspicious web sites and this is the first time something like that happened to me. |

| I have never bought anything from Chickdowntown.com.
Who charged you $5.06, Sungy? Did you use that card for Paypal payments? |
