Unknown Charges
Three days agao I had a charge show up on my credit card for $1.00 from a company named Lalibco.com Portugal NDL. Not knowing what this was for or what this company did, I looked them up on Google and found that they are some sort of Internet Tech/Service company but the site was very vague. I decided to contact Lalibco from one of their support numbers and was greeted by a "hello" from some guy with a heavy accent - no company name or anything. That was a dead give away that is is probably not a legit company, or a very professional service. I asked what the charge was for and what Lalibco did for business and the service rep told me that they provided billing service for numerous adult web sites and that the charge meant that I had made a purchase on one of those sites. Well, I am the only one that has access to my card and I know I did not make any online purchase on that date, and certainly not on some porn or adult site! The service rep then said that if I supplied him with some more personal information about me and my card used that he could track it in their records to determine where the charge might have come from. I said NO WAY! I would never give an unknown, online company any information and told him that I didn't think they were professional or even legit, and ended the call. I then contacted my credit card company, informed them of the issue, and they reversed the charge. Now, I know it was only $1.00 but it was more about the issue of a company like Lalibco having my card details and how they got it. WATCH OUT FOR LALIBCO!!!
