Ccbilleu Just when they think you aren't paying (no pun intended) attention.... Tempe Arizona

My bank called me on Sunday, of all days, this Memorial Day weekend to ask me to confirm a $100 debit card charge from ccbilleu.com. I told them that the charge was bogus--never heard of this vendor--and they delcined the charge and cancelled the card. I contacted ccbilleu and got a lecture about my and my financial institution's "responsibility" for security, and I said Duh---the fact that they called me IMMEDIATELY after you tried to post a transaction says a tad more about your validation process than my (lack) of "responsibility". My debit card never leaves my hand, never gets "swiped"--I use it at the ATM for cash and on-line purchases--period. This is the third time that my debit card has been compromised in 6 months and I was also called about my sole credit card: last Wednesday, an outfit named "ClickNBuy" tried to bill for a nominal amount. That card is used for on-line purchasing only--nothing else. Bank caught that one right away, too. So where is this leading me? The outfits making the bogus charges: ccbilleu, ClickNCharge (check out their site--all the prices are in "KD"), some charity in England that collects for Iraqi animal rescue, and the best one of all--Air Arabia--are you getting the thread?? The only common vendor I've used on-line with both cards is Barnes & Noble.
