Strange Bank Charge to CC

[garethsk]

Hey,

Wondering if anyone here as seen a charge on their CC from anything resembling this:

X BC FORESTRY, NORTH HAMPTON, VA

I have an account that I rarely use except for play stuff. In the past 6 months I've used it at the following merchants:

Supply Capt
Coal Creek Armory
TGO (Hat purchase and Membership)
MS Society (Donation per this thread - Help for my cousin. PLEASE READ.)

Today I have a $20.00 pending charge from whatever X BC Forestry is.

Hopefully it's nothing except my own forgetfulness, but I'm doubting it, and the bank will take care of it tomorrow. I'm just wondering if anyone else here got hit this morning, especially those who purchased a hat/membership/donation, as those are the most recent charges.

Thanks

Gareth

First thanks for the donation man! I checked my account, my wife's and checked with a few other people who donated and no one else got hit with that so hopefully you can scratch the MS Society off your list.

I've never had any issues with the TGO stuff either so it my be one of the others or just one of those things.

Thanks for checking.

probably a simple error by someone manually entering a credit card number for someones legitimate purchase.

Find a contact number for XBC Forestry and call them to correct it.

Then if you still can't get it fixed call your bank.

Really it may well be a innocent mistake. Happened on me one time. Phone call fixed it.

Or you identity might be stolen

Hey no problem I was about to get pretty bent out of shape if that's where it came from. I felt bad enough even asking for people to donate, if I found out somebody was stealing funds...well I'd have been road tripping.

I looked on Google for a contact number but I wasn't able to find anything for X BC Forestry, or XBC Forestry, in or around North Hampton, VA. If anyone is able to find anything I'd gladly call them first before going through the bank.

I bank with 5/3 and they're great at taking care of issues like this, so I've no doubt they'll take care of it tomorrow for me.

Did the same here and came up blank. I had a charge pop up out of the blue awhile back and my bank just nerfed the charge and credited my money back.

Definatly call your CC 800 number on the back of it...I purchased something off the iternet a few years ago and somehow someone stole the number...luckily the CC company froze my account due to it being used at 4:59 A.M. on eFashions from someone in canada...kinda inconvient when I'm at roy rodgers buying parts and my card was stopped...but I'm glad it was! come to findout they had actually used it about 3 weeks prior for 7 dollars to see if it worked i guess and hit it for if I remember correctly...$3800 on that fashion site.

I spoke to them this morning. The transaction is still "Pending" on the account, so there isn't much they can do until it changes to "Posted".

Guess I'll wait and see what happens...

I did some searching to, couldn't find anything. You can't recall anything within the last few weeks that would have cost $20 even? Or have been to Virginia?

It has to be some kind of error like was stated above.
