I was charged $59.95 by Dri*Reg.net. There no website at this address DriReg.net and I could not find anything else about this "company". My bank absorbed the charges as it's an obvious fraud and provided me with a new card. However, it's not clear how this company obtained the information.

    Follow up with your bank with a written dispute of the fraudulent charge.  Include a copy of your credit card statement, indicating the fraudulent charge.  Send this immediately on receiving your statement, making sure they receive it no later than 60 days after the statement date to protect your FCBA rights.

    File a fraud complaint with FTC thru www.ftc.gov

    I have just learned that I have had 4 charges of $70.00 each removed from my
    account by a company called DRI*AUCTIONMONSTER, which is allegedly owned by a UK Computer software company called Dri.reg.net  My bank says the coding seems to indicate that  I bought something from e-Bay, which may be the case,but I have never given authority for anyone to remove regular amounts from my account. As yet I am unable to identify the companies involved.

    I just looked at my account and found this company also took money from my account.My bank is going to file a complaint on them also.I can only guess it has to deal with all the scams from the uk.There are people soliciting jobs on the internet.When you apply they say they need someone in the United States to act as a pay agent for their company.They send you bogus money Orders in the amount of 850.00.usually 4.They tell you to take them to your bank,cash them keep 10% send them the rest .c/o Western Union.You get charged by your bank,The FBI comes looking for you.they send USPS money Orders or Money gram orders from Walmart.They may be people in the United States.All I know is that it is from the UK.tell people not to fall for thes jobs from email from the UK.YOU WILL GET SCAMMED.

    Dispute all fraudulent charges immediately with your bank, and have them close that account to prevent future fraudulent charges.  Follow up by sending your dispute IN WRITING, to preserve your dispute rights under FCBA (for credit cards), or Reg. E (for checking accounts).

    Do not use debit or check cards, and cancel any that you have, as fraudulent activity drains money directly from your bank account, with consequences in bounced checks and fees.  Never authorize "phone checks", or recurring charges directly to your bank account.  Use only ATM cards requiring PINs at your own bank's ATM machines.  Use only credit cards for retail or on-line purchases, and consider using the one-time or limited payment methods outlined thru the link below.  Restrict use of checks to payments of accounts with trusted businesses (i.e.: rent, mortgage, utilities, etc.).


    Excellent article about the payment mechanisms used in on-line shopping, their weaknesses, and how to increase security of purchases, specifically when merchants pass on your card information to companies placing fraudulent recurring "membership" charges.

    Only error is that changing your card number should not affect the length of your reported credit history on the transferred account.  If it does contact your bank and insist they report correctly to ensure your FICO scores are not degraded.

    Natalie,
    go to your bank at your earliest convenience and tell them what has happened. I have heard of other people calling the company, and having their money returned only to have a charge for a different amount come up on the next statement.

    It's the same old Nigerian scam. There are countries where getting caught for computer crimes is next to impossible. They put whatever country they think will sound good enough to get the scam to work, and they have used the names of many countries. To me the most ridiculous one is where they say they are a relative of some high ranking official and have to have money to get out of the country because of civil war. They tell you they will send you millions of dollars, and you can have thousands of dollars for getting the money and sending most of it back to them. All they need for this to happen is your banking information. You would be surprised how many are taken in by this.

    Sounds like the old Nigerian scam. They use many different countries telling you they are the cousin of a high ranking individual and need to escape the country because of civil war. Ah but there's a catch they can't get the money. It can only be wired out of the country to naturalized citizen. They offer to transfer millions of which you get most of it. All they need is your banking information so they can wire you the money. You would be surprised at the number of people who fall for this and end up getting thier bank account wiped out.

    Let's do the math. An organization like this can run commercials in the U.S. Great Brittian and Austrailia, and anywhere there is a large English speaking population. They are probably run in Spanish and Gernam too. The commercials are run everywhere because they know most of us are living paycheck to paycheck and are willing to pay $1.95 to get all this free information on how to make thousands of dollars a week. If you count all three of the major countries mentioned and you multiply $1.95 by 1/2 of one percent of the population you come up with thirty million dollars $30,000,000.00 in the U.S. alone, and that's not counting the thousands around the world who get tagged for one or more paymwnts at $59.95.
      So far, this company is staying legal by saying they will refund your money. I'm sure they make millions from people who don't itemize the bank statement and end up paying several payments before they see the maney has been taken. By that time, the company will be closed, or out of business.

    And I just had the same thing happen to me and my debit card is my child support card!!!!!!!   Who are these people???  I had a phone number that I was able to call and the company was Surplus Suppliers.  Who are they?  I have to wait for a supervisor to call me back within the next 24 to 48 hours so in the mean time my account gets charged.  This is awful.  Now a days a debit card is the only way to get your child support and this is even tampered with.  UNBELIEVABLE.

    Appears to be a "secret shopper" scam.  People think they are requesting information for a small handling fee, and find themselves getting monthly charges.
