Leave a CommentI too have been charged $9.80 on my charge card. My bank has had to close the account and I loose access while they issue a new card. I wonder what we have in common or how we were targeted. Thanks to this site I have been able to provide this as proof to my bank that it is a bogus charge.
My charge was for $9.80. How can they just charge my card without autorization or my security code. That is very scary & who knows what the cost would be next time:(
Bogus Charge for me and my card as well! $9.75 Hope to resolve this issue and refund! More importantly I hope this never happens a***n!!!
Same here. After racking my ***in to figure out who/what this company was, went online and found this scam info. Thanks all! Citibank will remove. Wonder how they were able to charge, though, without the security code. Scary!!
Same issue 9.80.
Got a charge on my bank card for 9.80 from ESTA in NY with the phone 866-593-6235. This was not authorized by me. Disputing with my credit card
9.85 charged to my visa disputing it too.
Same story as the other posts. Found a charge of $9.85 on my credit card. I'm disputing it now.
I got hit too. $9.80 on my credit card. On the phone with my credit card now. Called the number 866-593-6235 and got a strange message.
i have a charge from ESTA 866-593-6235 for $9.85. i am disputing it with my credit card company.
Same thing with me...hopefully my bank will honor the removal; I know it is only $9.85 but......
I am with ESTA, a non-profit****ociation in New York City. We are NOT in any way connected with this scam. We found out about it because we have received phone calls from several of you. We contacted our credit card company and they confirmed that these charges are not coming from us and the money is not being deposited into our account. We don’t know if the scammers are using our name on purpose or if it is just a coincidence. Unfortunately, there is nothing that they can do to stop the fraud. They told us the only way to try and stop this from happening is for you to call your credit card company and request the merchant number of the company processing the charge. If we have the merchant number, then our credit card company can try to find out who is behind it or you can ask your credit card company to do so. If any of you are willing to try and get that merchant number, we would be most appreciative. I can be reached at 212-244-1505.
Same here, I noticed a charge added on 01-06-2008. I'm going to dispute and find who owns the charge then do the normal BBB + FTC + state attorney general complaints too. I'm going to try to find out who this company is. Everyone else who has any information please post it too.
My account showed a 1/27/08 transaction for $9.75 from ESTA 866 593 6235 NY Trace #286270. Tried calling and no answer. I have already contacted my credit union. I will dispute with VISA.
Appears as "ESTA 8665936235 NY" on my credit card statement. Date of charge was 01/27/08. I have no idea what it is or where it came from. I will dispute with credit card company.
Ditto. Credit Card Statement online showed a $9.80 charge by Esta. Bank said it was for advertising service. NOT! In process of removing charge. The charge as dated 18Ja***. At that time, I google the number and there was nothing found. Google today and found this page. Thank You!
I didn't get a call - just a charge of $9.85 for Esta. My bank said it showed Esta was a advertising service. Glad to hear it was a scam and I didn't let it go.
Same thing. A charge for 9.80 (I must have gotten a discount!) Called and got a creepy message on the other end
Bullsh*t Scam! Call your credit card company and dispute!
I checked my credit card statement online and noticed a charge for $9.85. It showed Esta and a location of New York and a phone number 1-866-593-6235. I contacted my credit card company and they tried to reach that number and were unsuccessful. They promptly removed the charge from my account.
