credit card fraud
Wednesday, October 13th, 2010 10:05 pmFYI for anyone searching on this like I was...
I found a fraudulent $9.96 charge that was posted to my credit card last week. I reported it to my bank and had the card canceled. This is the first time I've had a fraudulent charge to any of my credit cards.
The info listed for the charge was this:
GOODFORYOURPET2066005593 206-6005593 NY
I googled "goodforyourpet" and the number, and found this page where several other people have reported similar fraudulent charges from that entity.
I wish I still had my old credit card which had something called "Shop-safe". It allowed you to easily (via an online page) create temporary card numbers with preset limits and expiration dates, which you could then use when ordering from websites. That way if the site attempted to charge more than the amount you had set, or if the card number got stolen due to lax website security, you were still safe because your real credit card number was never divulged.
