I have read posts that say that you should go to the BBB for a refund. I hope you guys realize that the BBB is a independent company who has absoulty no authority over any business. The only thing the BBB can do is remove their BBB membership. Here’s the secret, go to the department of consumer protection, they will really handle stuff

Just for documentation purposes,
my Discover Card got hit on Apr 30 for two charges of $106.90 ea. Funny thing is, if it had only been the single charge neither my wife or I probably wouldn’t have noticed it — but two in the same day?!?!

I disputed them with Discover Card Services.
Then another $89.90 charge on May 18.

No response back to Discover Card on the inquiry and they added the third charge to the dispute.

I rarely use my discover card nowadays, so not sure where/how the info came from.

I came across your site the same as D. Bailey up there. My mother-in-law had the exact same thing happen to her on a Discover card – she received the pills she never ordered today and has been charged two or three times at $107. She, too, does not use her card for much.
I wonder if there is a connecting thread – someone ‘s system must have been compromised.

DIET PILLS SCAM
I was looking for some info regarding my AMX card charges from REVENUESHIELD and found youre Website, I got suspicious when I received the diet pills and went checking all my accounts.
I already contacted AMX and cancelling card.
I am telling the US post office also and I am sending back the pills, retun receipt, found the address of the place who ships them on the Web.Even called them and gave them a piece of my mind. Useless probably.
The address is 1025 SW 59 STREET, OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73109
I THINK THE STATE OF UTAH NEEDS TO SHUT DOWN THAT PLACE.
I AM GOINMG TO CONTACT EVERYBODY, INCLUDING THE WHITE HOUSE.
I have no idea how they got my info as I rarely use this credit card.

*grain of salt = I didn’t read all of the comments*

I wouldn’t use a debit card for any online transaction. Credit cards protect against this just as well, but usually better.
