Tried to get more money from me

My situation is a little different, yesterday I checked my account. I had a refund of $34.99, and then soon after a charge of $34.99The charges were pending and it was too late to contact my bank. I checked my account today and noticed the charges were from wmv*match.com. I have never used their services, so I did a search and found all this information about fraud and scams, etc. I called my bank, and they will freeze the account, but now I have to go in tomorrow to open a new one. What a pain in the a** Not sure what to do next I think I'll try giving match.com a call. I'll post a followup here when I have more info.

We got a $34.99 charge too.  Just called the bank to put a hold on our account.

Just checked my BOA online statement and I have one of these, "WMV*MATCH.COM" charges as well.  Unfortunately like Frustrated Momma said, BOA's has told me in the past that the items need to post as well.  2 years ago, I had over seven thousand dollars in fraudulent charges leave my account.  I'm glad I don't live paycheck to paycheck...because that would have had me out on my a** per bills!  Got money back, but still took a week or two.I don't know what is going on with this WMV*MATCH.COM crap, but I have a bunch of legit charges that need to post to my account...then I will be canceling yet another card.  Major pain in the a** since I'm an American living overseas!

I didnt get a call, nor have I ever visited a matchmaking site. But it seems like this is still happening! I just noticed today a charge on my account from them for $29.99. I called my bank- BOA, and they said I had to wait till the amount was posted. It was in pending. I thought it would be better to catch it in pending, then let those scammers take my money, and then work even harder to get it back. This is absurd.

This world is insane. This happened to a new card, now I've got to replace it PLUS dispute the charge. All taking up too much time, not to mention frustration. There has GOT to be a better way, ha! We lost that years ago.Thank you all for posting. At least this helps.

I noticed an unauthorized Transaction on my account tonight from "WMV*MATCH.COM 800-326-5161 TXUS".  It was immediately refunded, however I will follow up, including a subpoena and see where it leads.  I will repost once I find out more information.

Did not receive a call, never used their website... i got charged for $34.99 by WMV*MATCH.COM.Have no clue how my debit card was compromised. Reported the fraudulent charge to my credit union. My debit card is deactivated... just when I'm planning to do some last-minute holiday shopping this weekend... ah, so inconvenient!!!!!!

The above (charges incurred and then refunded the same day) occurred to me on 9/16/2010. I called the 800 number for Match.com and spoke to a supervisor (after receiving unsatisfactory answers from the first contact), his name was Mel R. and he has promised to follow up with me personally on this matter. We will see. I have contacted the BBB and my bank and yes, the only solution is to cancel the card they tapped you on. By the sound of it, Match.com's security is lax or has been hacked and it sounds like they are sweeping it under the rug by sending everyone on a wild goose chase of "customer service" calls/promises. It also seems that Match.com or someone working for them could potentially be posing these charges, it is pretty clear that Match.com is hiding as much info about the charges as possible as evidenced by their denial of information release without a subpoena. I'll be switching to Paypal from now on and lets just hope no one ever hacks their system.

8/11/10 just found a charge of 59.97 from WMV*Match,com on my bank statement.  This is STILL happening despite all the above notices to District Attorneys, BBB and all letters to them demanding a refund.  Guess I'll be joining the ranks.  Working with my bank to refund this unauthorized charge.  Of course they are canceling my account and opening another which is fine but a real inconvience since I work out of State and rely on my debit card for gas purchases and expenses daily.  For the record, I have NEVER even looked at their site.  I am currently working the clean up in the Gulf for the oil spill, work 12 hrs. a day/7 days a week.  Hardly have time or desire to get on line and look at this crap.  Plus,married 20 years and have NEVER looked at or even thought about using a service like this.  And never will.

I just posted a response to "My Resolution to this Problem" regarding this, but for anyone else still monitoring this query, this scam is STILL HAPPENING!  I have the same situation here, started on July 21st, I caught it in time and canceled my cr/deb card.  This morning I learned that the charges were reversed by the scam artist, so my bank will take no further action because nothing was actually stolen from my account.....Nothing stolen, JUST MY DEBIT CARD INFORMATION and my sense of security!!! Whatever, we will NOT be shopping on-line anymore and will be paying our bills the old-fashioned way, through the US mail....I will do anything to keep this from happening again...suddenly convenience ends up being nothing but a HUGE headache and a feeling of violation.  Others, be very aware and check your banking (or CC purchases) EVERY DAY

I got hit by them for $34.99 last month. What's to be done?

I found a charge from 5/4/10 on my MasterCard for $39.99 from WMV*MATCH.COM. I received a credit issued the very next day for $39.99. I didn't know anything about this until I opened my credit card bill to pay it. I'm glad it was credited back, but very confused about how they got my credit card number. I never heard of this company but in researching on the internet learned it is affiliated with Match.com. I've never had anything to do with Match.com, so obviously someone, someplace got their hands on my credit card number and used. I assume my credit card company realized it was a scam and reversed the charges. I hope someone is able to catch these crooks and bring them to justice!

i just looked on my acct to find $150.00 taken from 5 different website one of them being wmv*match.com for $59.99. i had never heard of any of these sites and had not been online for almost a week. luckly i was checking my acct# today before they were actually credited to my acct. i have stopped the card but dont know where to go from here. my brother is a cop and states something about ip addresses that police can use to track down this people. is there anyone who has been lucky with finding any answers?

i recieved a bank statement today with wmv match.com   phone number 800-326-5161  showing they deducted $34.99 from my acct.i called the number & only got a voice mail.no person answered,  no company name,  just a voice mail hich leads me to believe it was a cell number.how they got our bank info is beyond me.the bank said the place deducted it from our acct then deposited it back in the acct.also on the statement was a place called faith matchmakers  214-802-6823.the bank said the places didnt use our debit card # but actually used our bank acct #.any ideas how to take care of these people once & for all?

I have never authorized any **renewal** and they never told me it will be **automatically** renewed. but they keep charging on my Check card. How to get them back?

I didn't receive a phone call from them but I did just discovered a charge of $39.98 on my credit card statement from WMV*MATCH.COM 800-326-5161.  It was reversed the next day so I am not out any $$.  I have never even been on that website so I have no idea how they got my CC#. I usually use Paypal when purchasing online but when it isn't available I use my credit card rather than a debit card because of the protection it provides. I will be cancelling the card to be safe.

I never authorized any withdrawal from my debit card          [email protected]

I had two charges on my cc, one for 107 and one for 68.  Like the other person, they were also refunded. said WMV*Match.com on my cc statement.  But I never visit match.com ??

****o Everyone, I am posting on this topic to help out everyone who this may happen too.First of all this charge is not an impostor charge. This is the real transaction charge of Match.com, "WMV*MATCH.COM 8003265161 TX". I had this happen to my credit card this month (September 2009). What's happening is someone is fraudulently using credit cards to setup Match.com accounts. The same person who used mine for Match.com accounts also tried to use mine for Yahoo Personal accounts. Luckily I caught the transactions While they were happening.How it happened I checked my bank account and I had 3 fraudulent charges, and in a matter of 10 minutes I had 3 More!!! So I called the number on the back of my card and got a hold placed on my account and then contacted my bank in the morning. They told me to contact the number on the card. Luckily the next day the charges to yahoo personals were dissolved. Their system must have picked up the fraudulent usage. So I only had the one transaction from Match.com that cleared to my card.First of all, I had held ownership to a free Match.com membership over a year before this happened. The first thing I recommend is not using Match.com at all. I say this because even to sign up for a free membership they make you input your CC information. If there was a fraudulent user, they must have hacked either my old name or Match.com's databases. In my first e-mail to Match.com they acted as if it was not their problem. They told me "There is no registered subscription to this user name". I responded that I don't enjoy the runaround treatment, I provided them with the credit card charge name on my statement (WMV*MATCH.COM 8003265161 TX) and I asked them to confirm or deny this was a charge from their company because I had the CC statements to prove it. Finally at the end of the message I told them I would be contacting my local district attorneys office and the Better Business Bureau to report the fraudulent actions of their company. and I told them I demand a proper answer to this problem. Finally, after waiting a day I got an e-mail from their staff stating that "the card registered to my user name was used fraudulently for a subscription by another user." They did refund the money immediately after their investigation. But the kicker is they will not give me any more details about the case until I obtain a subpoena and mail it to them. So who knows if this phantom user exists or if they're just charging people and ripping off those that are less aggressive in getting their money back. It's a strong accusation to make, but if my car is stolen and the guy who stole it is caught, the cops will tell me his name and ask if I want to press charges, not protect his privacy, right?In conclusion, Protect yourselves people! Don't use your debit card online, only a CC with full fraud protection policy set in place. If this does happen to you, be annoying, be a ****, present your evidence, demand your problem be taken care of and if they don't respond to that threaten action, if they don't respond to that be prepared to take action. I work hard for my money and I'm not going to let anyone steal it from me I hope you all feel the same way. I hope this helps. Be safe everyone.

I went to my C.U. They had me call the number to try to resolve this problem. So I called from my cellphone (incurring day time charges) while standing at the teller booth. The person asked me for my Email address, asked if I had an account on match.com.  I do not have an account with match.com  They asked for a current email address, and I gave them one they can use. She said the problem resolution officer will contact me with 24 hours. This is wensday, the charge appeared 4 days ago. On Friday I can file a problem resolution with my credit union. The card is cancled, costing me 5 bucks to get a new one. I even showed the credit union a print out of this websites page to show that I did try to find out if this was a scam, (which it is).. I will be looking for a new bank as of this afternoon.Basicaly I have to wait, and 30 bucks of mine is effecivly stolen untill it returns to me, and it still costs me delays 5 bucks, plus late fees on a bill that the money was designated for. This is why I hate having to use debit/credit cards. But if you don't, you do not establish credit and its better to have bad credit than NO credit as I have learned.

I did not get a call from this number, but it did appear on my debit card the same day I canceled an adult website subscription that my Son started 3 days prior. The charge was for 29.99 from WMV.Match.com This was not authorized by me.  |Im telling you, I have had more damm scam hits since I moved to WV, than I ever had in michigan. First on my cellphone, and now on my Debit card.

I never answered the calls, but i had two charges for 59.97 on my debit card, fortunately i also had two refunds for 59.97.

I found a charge for over $100 on my statment, and the charge originated from Wmv*match.com with the number 1-800-325-5161.  I actually called the number and someone from "match.com" answered.  It apears to be some type of scam from what I am getting from reading somethings online, I called and canceled my card and my bank is investigating it.  I hope to get my $$ back.

This is another number appearing on my credit card for payments I did not authorise...I did a check on the company and found a load of sites about credit card/bank fraud scams by them and fortunately my credit card company also knew about the scam and so refunded the charges. My credit card has been stopped since it's clear someone has found out my details somehow. I found another website "800Notes" that has a report of telephone calls from this number.
