What the hell is Auction Monster/Reg.net/Wintronix, and why have they been charging my credit card?

[bbernardini]

I can't find any reason for these people to be charging me, and I just realized they've had charges around $60 every month on my credit card bill since April. I know I'm an idiot for not noticing, but who the hell are these people?

1. sounds like a phishing expedition took place

or an unsecured transaction

stolen numbers?

call card security

i have no idea who they are

google them?

2. I had something like this happen...

someone got my card numbers a few months ago. Call your credit card company pronto. Cancel the card, and file a police report. The police report is just a formality. This happens so often, they don't have time to investigate.

In my case, it was some gaming site that charged my card. I still have no idea how they hijacked the numbers.

4. It would appear to be one of those eBay success type things...

Which, of course, I never bought. AMEX is looking into whatever charges they can dispute.
