Hello,

We have a UW cashback card, and have just noticed a payment for £79.10 on 28th feb to a company that reads on my statement as -
Dri Swreg Inc - 26 Boulevard Royal 952 908 4138.
After googling them, some people in the US say they have suffered credit card fraud. Both me & my husband have not authorised this transaction, so who are they and why have they taken this money?!

Has anyone else had this appear on their statement or does anyone know who they are & how we go about getting our money back?!

Any help appreciated, have never been affected by card fraud before so this has got me slightly worried!:(
Thanks guys xx

UPDATE - We have just found some more payments to this company dating back to december last year, this time the statement description reads Dri Swreg Inc - 26 Boulevard Royal Cardquery Com

    You seem to be at least the forth member on here now that's had something like this happen when there is no obvious reason or explanation to how this is happening to people and there cc.

    Think all you can do for now is dispue the payment and see where it goes. Also cancell the cc as well in case it happens again.

    Your first action (before posting here;-)) should be to report the payments as disputed to your card provider. They will investigate and refund if they are found to be fraudulant. (There might be a problem with the payments that you have not reported from previous statements because of the elapsed time, but if they are obviously fraud then should be OK.)
    loose does not rhyme with choose but lose does and is the word you meant to write.
