Weird credit card transaction

alibongo42

I have just discovered a small value credit card transaction that I don't believe I actioned. I need to wait until tomorrow to call my card company, but having done a bit of research, it seems really weird. I wanted to canvas opinion and see if anyone has heard of anything like this.

The transaction was on 16 Mar 10, and is for £6.19 and came from "WWW SUPPATOYS COM". Turns out this was a US transaction, converted from dollars. I have not been in the US since Jan, and did not use this card there. I also don't recall making any online transactions that would fit.

The website is a blank page. Nothing interesting when I view the source code either. When I ping the IP address, it belongs to somewhere in Russia.

On googling the website, it is listed as the homepage for a variety of usernames on a variety of forums (spanning a vast array of topics). In each case, the user has only registered from 23rd - 26th March 10, and made only one post. The posts are coherent, but usually have no significance to the subject of the forum. In some cases the user has a status of BANNED. The most common username is MSMILLER36.

I can find no online reference to anyone else commenting on potentially fraudulent activity from this site.

Has anyone heard of anything like this before? Even if my card company change my card, I will still be curious as to what this is all about!

Looks like someone has your card details. Report it cloned immediately, before some other 'interesting' transactions turn up for you to battle with.

Hello, I too have a transaction from www suppatoys com, like you I know I didn't make this tranaction and have had my card blocked!
The transaction was on 17th March and was for £7.01, also converted from US dollars. Looks like someone is setting up a nice big scam!!!!!

Card now stopped, and I'm not the first customer to have called with the same query!

(No idea why the first time I called I got the message that the office was now closed!)

Contact the credit card company - someone may have gotten the card # and charges on it..
WP is Wordpay meaning online. I would contact your bank immediatly and make a hold on the card.

I've got it on my statement today (Yorkshire Bank Visa) £7.12

best to speak to your credit card company, they can chargeback the transaction f you havent authorised it.

Good Luck
