Some body placed 2 Authorizations that I did not authorize on my credit card. One was for $98.00 and the other one was for $9.00. Strange thing about this is I haven't used the card since 1-6-01. When I asked the bank who was trying to access funds from the account they told me they didn't know because the authorizations had dropped off: Has this ever happened to any of you folks? I don't like the idea that someone can try to make charges on my account with out me ever finding out about it And if I do find out there is no way for me to find out who did it. Can Anyone Here offer any Feed Back on this? ? ?
Did the charges actually go through? If so, dispute them, report the card as stolen and get a new account number. If you dispute the charges, they will probably come up with a name for you.
lbrown59/jzilla "PRE-AUTHORIZATION"...dropped off... You may have had a business type in your account # by mistake (transposed #'s)??? Since there was no official charge to "MATCH" they dropped off.
I work for a credit card company and I see this happen all the time, and I wouldn't be too concerned, it really could be anything. If someone had your credit card info, your card would be maxed out in amatter of 2 hours. They dont waste time. I see fraud on a daily basis... Since it was just an authorization that dropped off and never posted to your balance, it could have just been a mistake either by a merchant or the credit card company itself. Jamee
