440sprint Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 Has anyone else had an incorrect credit card charge appear, apparently for "Tire Centers Inc #785"? I have already cancelled the card, will get a replacement soon and will not be charged, but I would like to warn everyone that a fraudulent $5,251 charge to a "Tire Centers Inc #785" appeared on my most used credit card this morning! My online search for "Tire Centers Inc #785" only produced "Tire Centers LLC #785" in Henderson, CO, which is probably not the same. Thanks everyone for any info or suggestions. Maybe I can stop this fraud before it hits someone else. I live here in SoCal, but constantly use this card locally & online. It is such a hastle to have to change my card number with all my venders using that now cancelled card! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grsybtch Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 I had my debit card cloned once...........they bought $1600 worth of gift cards at a Best Buy before Visa fraud protection got suspicious and turned it off. The card was in my wallet the whole time! It seems they copied the number and made a fake card that charged my account! When I asked what i could do to prevent it from happening again they said there really isn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy49 Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 440, There should be a phone number attached to the charge on your card, it may be worth calling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Snoopy, but my call to the card company revealed only that this was a charge REQUEST ONLY so far. I made that call this morning just after the charge-approval request was noticed to me by automatic e-mail from the card company! My phone calI revealed that I have to wait until this Sat in order to get any details, but the fraud is noticed and my card number changes!
