Recently, I had a $39.99 charge on my VISA card dated 10-21-2004. At first I thought my card # was stolen. I called Bank of America (where I got my card) and they said "Home Protect" charged my card. She set up a 3-way call and called this company. This company explained that I had signed an agreement at Home Depot for their services. I shop at HD, but never used my VISA card there. The entry on my credit card showed
BAC HOMPROTEC 39.99
They agreed to back out the charge. And I asked Bank of America to cancel my credit card. I think this was a case if fraud. Since then, I had not been able to find the company that charged my credit card on the Internet. Anyone know anything about this? Or perhaps how anyone got my card number? I have not used my VISA card in 10 months.
Also, I'd like to give everyone a "heads up" on credit card fraud, to protect your #, and to carefully check your statements.
