credit card fraud

dinosor

I recently saw a post on your website offering cheap childrens books.The site was iwantoneofthose.com I ordered the books using a credit card only to be told a few days later they were no longer available.I have recieved a credit card statement with an item not recognised.I have been in touch with my credit card company and their fraud office and it appears there has been further transactions and has a link to the iwantoneofthose website.I just want to warn other users of this.

This sounds very strange.
iwantoneofthose.com is a legitimate and well established business, but they don't sell children's books.
Does your credit card statement say the retailer was iwantoneofthose?

If not, it's possible your credit card details have been compromised by spyware on your PC. Ask your bank for a new credit card and scan your PC for malicious software.

Did your CC company's fraud office say what the "link" to the iwantoneofthose website was?

I first saw the offer on this website[perhaps there's a way of checking this],I just followed the link to their website and ordered the books,[offer was something like 10 books for £8.99].A few days later i recieved an email saying they couldn't supply the books.I am waiting now for a letter from my credit card company showing details of all fraudulant transactions made on the card.

Yes they do. Try;

A fantastic selection of ten full colour picture books at a bargain price. They cover a wide range of topics and situations that will delight both parents and young children.

£7.99 for the set, but it's sold out. Maybe that's what the OP is talking about.

I stand corrected.

they are a reputable organisation though, I have done business with them before...I expect there is sometihng else here, or an admin error?

The post from antrobus was the same offer i saw on this website.Does anyone know when it was first shown on Martin Lewis site.Memory not good but i think i saw it April/May time and followed the link antrobus posted.The last time i used my credit card before this was December 2010.

Shame used to love this company - looks like they have been taken over by the Hut group and since then they have failed to deliver ( but happily charged me ) twice for orders i placed. I'd watch out if i was you seems dodgy.
