Do NOT give your card # and exp. date to ANYONE but the credit card company!  Call the bank first thing in the morning, verify who you are and they should be able to clear this up.. if card is lost and stolen, report it immediately to keep from having any MORE charges on your account... that's how identity theft can ruin your credit.. good luck!

You contact the credit card company and they investigate it. sometimes it can turn out to be a parent company of something you charged. at other times it can be an error. but for example i have a bank of montreal mastercard so if i have an error on my statement i call them. if you have a store card you would call the head office etc. check the back of your card and see if there is a number. if not look up their web site online.

You typically have 60 days to dispute a credit card charge.  Even though you are past that point, I would go ahead and file a dispute with the credit card company.  As far as getting it back from the company, if it is really a scam the odds are the you won't be able to even deal with them.\n\nI am sorry for the loss, but in the future dispute any charge within 60 days if you even suspect there's a problem.

Contact the sate attorney general's office in California under the consumer protection division.  What this person did could be construed as a felony, and they will end up in jail.  It falls under federal jurisdiction as well because they used an interstate commerce (the internet) to commit fraud.  You can sue them later, but that will involve filing it in a California court.  The criminal court will get you your money back and you will have the satisfaction of knowing this person is in jail.  They may even get you a little extra in restitution.\n\nContact your local district attorney's office as well.  Your local police department can help, but all they will do is take a statement and contact the DA for getting in contact with CA.\n\nDO NOT CONTACT THIS PERSON ANYMORE.  If you alert them to a criminal investigation, they could take steps to make it more difficult for law enforcement to find them.\n\nContact your bank or credit card company immediately.  They will submit a claim and may be able to put a lein on the thief's account, and may be able to get your funds back faster.\n\nGoodluck!

Call your card company or bank and dispute the charges immediately, let them know the situation, they will take care of it. Also, contact the company that is making the charges and file a complaint with customer service. Finally, make sure to keep tabs on your credit report to make sure that they do not report you because you refused to pay the fraudulent charges. If it is reported to the credit reporting agencies, make sure you dispute it and send them documentation from your credit card company that you disputed the charges on your card and tried to resolve the situation. That way it will not affect your credit rating, and if it does you have proof that you took steps to close the account and collect the fraudulent charges months before. Be careful because the company could attempt to report you at any time in the next seven years.

There should be a customer service number on the card itself.  If you can't find one, call the bank you got it from.

If you paid by credit card, notify your credit card company.\n\nIf you paid by any other mean, then:\n\nIf they sent your money to the supplier, ask for proof that payment was made to the supplier.  In other words, try to find out who has your money.\n\nConsider the value of suing the middleman and the supplier.  Trouble is, it would probably cost more than a few thousand in legal fees to pursue the issue with no assurance that anything would come of it.\n\nMake a report of possible fraud to the appropriate legal authorites, to the better business bureau, and to any other agency you can think of that might have an interest.\n\nIf the middleman is a large and/or recognizable organization, I would protest up the line.  I would also consider talking to local news organizations, etc.\n\nBottom line, unless you paid by credit card, I think your options are few.

Yes, this is identity theft. Your friends Mom should contact the authorities immediately to see what charges she should file. She should also contact one of the three major credit agencies and put an identity theft alert on her account. This is a major headache to deal with, I wish you the best of luck.

Start by calling your credit card company and freezing your cards. Don't let the creeps use it any more. Also, while yo are on the phone with them, ask them to send you an Affidavit of Forgery. They will usually mail it to you in a few days. To help the police out, ask your company to tell you when and where the card has been used. Get the exact amount of the transactions and any store numbers they may have, including a batch number.\n\nNext, call the police and make a report. Make sure you give them all the data from the credit card company. Having the exact dates, times, and amounts will help them possibly catch the criminals. The problem they have is that security systems will record over their video (usually with 24-48 hours) of the crime. It had gotten much better with the advent of DVR (digital) security recordings, but they still will be erased after a while. \n\nWith all of that said, it's a crap shoot from there on out. Depnding on what the criminals did, they may have screwed up some aspect of your future credit. You need to keep you police report number handy for years to come, I'm afriad. Having a copy of your report can help doubting credit agencies.

Go to the police. Its illegal to do that.\nContact your bank to find out where the money went and change your account; now they have your cheque or credit card number and your details, they can steal your id or try to take more money from your account.\nIf you paid by cheque, cancel it.\nIf you paid by credit card phone them NOW tell them and cancel the card.

Did you call them, or did they call  you? Was this from an email? Did they ask for your credit card number to "verify" your information?\n\nUnless you yourself dialed the number that's on the back of your card and know you were definitely talking to the credit card company, I would first verify that it is not a scam. Call your credit card company and verify. If it turns out it wasn't them who contacted you, and you have given someone else your info, immediately report the cards as stolen.\n\nNext, call the three credit-reporting agencies and ask them to attach a 'fraud alert' to all your credit cards. \n\nEquifax: 1-800-525-6285\nExperian: 1-888-397-3742\nTrans Union: 1-800-680-7289\n\nYou are also entitled to one free credit report per year from each of these companies. It's a good idea to monitor your credit report regularly:\nhttp://www.annualcreditreport.com/
