A Company that I do business with used my credit card for leisure!?

A company that I make infrequent purchases from has my credit card info on file. This is the only company where I use this credit card. I do not carry this card nor do I use it for any other purposes. I recently logged on to the credit card's website to pay my bill. I was shocked to find 4 recent transactions totaling over $500 that I could not identify. Coincidentally they were each made in Canada. The company that I do business with is located in Canada. I live in the United States. The transactions where for $100 at a towing company, $115.00 in make-up/skincare products, $200 in herbal supplements/remedies, and $125.00 in cellular airtime. I reported my card lost or stolen immediately. I also went online to find the phone numbers of each company that was on my bill. To make a long story short, I now have the contact info of the guy that used my card. He works for the company that I do business with. How do I proceed to ensure he is fired from his job and charges are filed?

You need to file a police report first. Do not take no for an answer from the police, who often don't want to bother with the report. You need the report. Then you go to the company owner or senior management. A call to the District Attorney's office (or equivalent) in the city would not hurt either. Make sure that the CC company knows that these are fraudulent charges.





Don't forget to put Fraud Alerts on your credit report with all three major credit bureaus.
Reply:As the other contributor stated, first file a police report. However, since this is out of the local police department's jurisdiction, you may need to contact the FBI for further assistance or the law enforcement division in Canada (you can do this via e-mail). Furthermore, as for the guy who did this, you should contact the company's Compliance/Law department and advise them of the situation..





Hope that helps..
